2 Only the ship's Administration can issue a ship's
CSR document (Form 1) to a ship. The first CSR document issued to
a ship is numbered “1” and subsequent CSR documents are
to be sequentially numbered. The sequential numbering continues across
change of flag throughout the life of the ship.
3 Each original CSR document will have to be sent
to the ship and kept by the ship throughout its lifetime. The Administration
needs to keep a copy (which may be an electronic copy) of each CSR
document issued to the ship.
4 Whenever issuing a CSR document to a ship, the
Administration will have to provide all information in rows 1 to 13
of Form 1 (indicate “N/A” if not applicable). Information
number 7 on the CSR only has to be completed if the Administration
requires the registration of bareboat charterers and the ship is actually
bareboat chartered.
