Regulation 6

require repairs to a ship; and (ii) carry out inspections and surveys if requested by the appropriate authorities of a Port State. ( c ) When a surveyor of ships or authorised organisation determines that the condition of the ship or its equipment does not correspond substantially with the particulars of the certificate or is such that the ship is not fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship, or persons on board, such surveyor or organisation shall immediately ensure that corrective action is taken. If such corrective action is not taken within the reasonable period specified by the surveyor of ships or authorised organisation the validity of the relevant certificate is liable to be suspended by the surveyor of ships or authorised organisation until such time the corrective action has been taken to the satisfaction of the surveyor of ships or authorised organisation. The Director and the owner or master shall be notified immediately of any suspension or revalidation of a certificate; and, if the ship is in a foreign port the appropriate authorities of the Port State shall also be notified immediately. ( d ) When the validity of a certificate is to be suspended the master or owner of the ship shall on demand deliver up the certificate to the surveyor of ships or authorised organisation. ( e ) The owner of every ship in relation to which these Regulations apply shall apply for the surveys required under Regulations 7, 8, 9 and 10 to be carried out by a surveyor of ships or an authorised organisation. Every such application may be made on behalf of the owner. Any application for survey shall be accompanied by such information relating to the ship as the surveyor of ships or authorised organisation may require for the purpose of the survey.
