The PSCO should verify that controls of Hazardous Materials
listed in appendix 1 to the Convention
are effectively implemented, referring to relevant certificatesfootnote or documents that may specify structure
or equipment presumed to contain these Hazardous Materials. The PSCO
should note that detailed inspections are limited to confirming whether
effective controls of Hazardous Materials listed in appendix 1 to the Convention are in place. Failure to update
the Inventory of Hazardous Materials should not, therefore, constitute
a detainable deficiency, but any inconsistencies in the Inventory
should be reported to the flag Administration of that ship, and should
be redressed at the time of the next survey.
