14.3.1 It is considered highly desirable not to
deviate from the requirements of this chapter; nevertheless the Administration,
in conjunction with the base port State, may grant partial or conditional
exemptions to individual craft from the requirements of 14.7 to 14.11 provided:
-
.1 such craft comply with the functional requirements
of 14.5; and
-
.2 the Administration has taken into account the
effect such exemptions may have upon the general efficiency of the
service for the safety of all ships and craft.
14.3.2 An exemption may be granted under 14.3.1
only:
-
.1 if the conditions affecting safety are such
as to render the full application of 14.7
to 14.11 unreasonable or unnecessary; or
-
.2 in exceptional circumstances, for a single
voyage outside the sea area or sea areas for which the craft is equipped.
14.3.3 Each Administration shall submit to the
Organization, as soon as possible after the first of January in each
year, a report showing all exemptions granted under 14.3.1 and 14.3.2
during the previous calendar year and giving the reasons for granting
such exemptions.
