Construction- , Cargo Ship Safety Radio - and Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate.
2
A damage control plan/booklet is not required by the relevant Convention/Code. For classification matters only, Germanischer Lloyd requires that for each ship a damage control plan is

5
Regulation 11.1.1 of MARPOL 73/78 Annex IV has been updated to require that the moderate rate of discharge is to be calculated in accordance with MEPC.157(55). The results of
these calculations shall be approved by the Administration and be placed onboard (For details on application refer to Reg. 11.1.1 of MARPOL 73/78 Annex IV). Resolution MEPC.157(55)
provides a guideline on how to calculate the moderate rate of discharge.
6
The date of entry into force of the AFS Convention is 17th September 2008, present requirements for such Certificates or equivalent Statements of Compliance are based on national
legislation, primarily by member states of the European Union (based on EU Regulation (EC) No 782/2003, in force since May 2003).
7
Special Trade means the conveyance of large numbers of Special Trade Passengers (Pilgrims) by sea on international voyage within specified areas; a Special Trade Passenger
means a passenger carried in Special Trades with spaces on the weather deck, upper deck and / or between decks which accommodate more than 8 passengers.
8
Survey and issuance only if required by flag State or wished by owners.
9
For provision, hose handling and machinery cranes national regulations may apply.
10
