3 In order to determine when CAS compliance is
required for a particular oil tanker, the PSCO should note that, for
oil tankers of 15 years of age or more on 5 April 2005, CAS is due
by the first intermediate or renewal survey due on or after 5 April
2005. To determine when CAS is required, review the endorsement date
for the intermediate survey on the SOLAS Cargo Ship Safety Certificate,
or the SOLAS Safety Construction Certificate, as appropriate:
-
.1 If the SOLAS certificate's endorsement date
for the intermediate survey is before 5 April 2005, then CAS is due
at the next renewal survey (i.e., 3 months prior to the 4th anniversary
date to the expiry date).
-
.2 If the SOLAS certificate does not indicate
any endorsement for the intermediate survey on 5 April 2005, then
CAS is due at the next intermediate survey (i.e., 3 months prior to
the 2nd anniversary date to 3 months after the 3rd anniversary date).
However, for those oil tankers which have been allowed continued
operation under the provisions of regulation
13G(7), CAS is due by the first intermediate or renewal survey
scheduled prior to the anniversary date of the ship in
2010.
4 For oil tankers of less than 15 years of age
on 5 April 2005, CAS is due by the first intermediate or renewal survey
carried out after 15 years of age. To determine when CAS is required
review the endorsement date for the intermediate survey on the SOLAS
Cargo Ship Safety Certificate or the SOLAS Safety Construction Certificate,
as appropriate:
-
.1 If the SOLAS certificate's endorsement date
for the intermediate survey is before the oil tanker is 15 years of
age, then CAS is due at the next renewal survey (i.e., 3 months prior
to the 4th anniversary date to the expiry date).
-
.2 If the SOLAS certificate does not indicate
any endorsement for the intermediate survey by the date on which the
oil tanker is 15 years of age, then CAS is due at the next intermediate
survey (i.e., 3 months prior to the 2nd anniversary date to 3 months
after the 3rd anniversary date).
5 For oil tankers operating under the provisions
of regulation 13H(6)(a) (carriage
of crude oil having a density at 15°C higher than 900 kg/m3 but
lower than 945 kg/m3), CAS is due by the first intermediate
or renewal survey carried out after 5 April 2005 or after the date
when the ship reaches 15 years of age, whichever occurs later.
6 The anniversary date is the day and month of
each year which corresponds to the date of expiry of the above-mentioned
SOLAS certificate.
7 If the CAS due date has passed, the PSCO should
check for a CAS Statement of Compliance issued by the Administration
or an Interim Statement of Compliance issued by the Recognized Organization.
8 In any case, it is recommended that the PSCO
consult the IMO database for CAS that was developed in accordance
with section 14 of CAS. The database can be accessed by Parties to
MARPOL 73/78 at http://gisis.imo.org/Members following the procedure
detailed in MEPC/Circ.436 of 24 March 2005.
