10.1 Administrations wishing to engage in verifications
of Notices of Arrival tendered by ships entitled to fly their flag
to a port State in order to enable the port State concerned to initiate
the process of tracking a specific ship proceeding to its port, should
instruct the ships entitled to fly their flag to transmit a copy
of the Notice of Arrival they tender to a port State to the LRIT Data
Centre to which the ship is transmitting LRIT information. In this
manner it would be up to each Administration, if it so wished, to
validate the requests of any Contracting Government for the provision
of LRIT information as a port State.
