and Code of good practice for port State control officers (
MSC-MEPC.4/Circ.2

(a) Every ship when in a port of another Contracting Government is subject to control by officers duly
authorized by such Government in so far as this control is directed towards verifying that the
certificates issued under regulation 12 or regulation 13 are valid.
(b) Such certificates, if valid, shall be accepted unless there are clear grounds for believing that the
condition of the ship or of its equipment does not correspond substantially with the particulars of any
of the certificates or that the ship and its equipment are not in compliance with the provisions of
regulation 11(a) and (b).
(c) In the circumstances given in paragraph (b) or where a certificate has expired or ceased to be valid,
the officer carrying out the control shall take steps to ensure that the ship shall not sail until it can
proceed to sea or leave the port for the purpose of proceeding to the appropriate repair yard without
danger to the ship or persons on board.
(d) In the event of this control giving rise to an intervention of any kind, the officer carrying out the
control shall forthwith inform, in writing, the Consul or, in his absence, the nearest diplomatic
representative of the State whose flag the ship is entitled to fly* of all the circumstances in which
intervention was deemed necessary. In addition, nominated surveyors or recognized organizations
responsible for the issue of the certificates shall also be notified. The facts concerning the intervention
