12.1 Cargo ships whose gross tonnage is 300 and
above but of less than 500 are not required to hold a valid Cargo
Ship Safety Equipment Certificate and thus there is no Record of Equipment
for the Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate (Form E) which could
be endorsed so as to attest their compliance with the obligation to
transmit LRIT information.
12.2 The compliance of the aforesaid cargo ships
with the obligation to transmit LRIT information should be documented:
-
.1 in case they are issued with a Cargo Ship Safety
Certificate, by completing the relevant entry in section 5 of the
Record of Equipment for the Cargo Ship Safety Certificate (Form C)
and having on board a valid Conformance test report; or
-
.2 in case they are not issued with a Cargo Ship
Safety Certificate, by having on board a valid Conformance test report.
12.3 Neither the Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate
nor the Record of Equipment for the Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate
(Form R) should be amended in any way to document their compliance
with the obligation to transmit LRIT information as any such amendment
does not attest compliance of the ship concerned with the obligation
to transmit LRIT information.
