3 Inspections of Non-Party Ships

  3.1 Ships of non-Parties to the Convention are not entitled to be issued with an International Certificate on Inventory of Hazardous Materials or an International Ready for Recycling Certificate. Therefore, the PSCO should ask for documentation that contains the same information as in the above certificates supplemented by the Inventory of Hazardous Materials and take this into account in determining compliance with the relevant requirements of the Convention.

  3.2 In all other aspects the PSCO should be guided by the procedures for ships required to carry a certificate.

  3.3 The PSCO should ensure that, in accordance with article 3.4 of the Convention, no more favourable treatment is applied to ships of non-Parties to the Convention.
