Distinctive Numbers/Letters
The Liberian flag has determined that whenever a certificate requires to be completed with
Distinctive Numbers or letters then the Official number shall be used. This number should be
found on the certificate of registry
Confirmation of class
In relation to registration or re-registration, when contacted either by the Administration or the owners for
the issue of a confirmation of class, Houston DCE is to be advised of all details and will issue the necessary
documentation.
For new builds, the local port office is to advise DCE Houston, together with information on the delivery
date, Class Notation details (Hull and Machinery only).If possible, a"Draft Copy" of the Certificate of Class
that will be issued is also to be sent to DCE Houston.
Certificates of class
A copy of the interim or full certificate of class is to be forwarded to the Administration as soon as
practicalfor vessels changingflag to Liberia, at change of class to LR (with or without change of flag) and
for new builds.The SDO should deal with the Administration directly.
In addition the Administration is to be advised by fax in cases where the classification status of the ship is
temporally changed or altered or if any material or operation restrictions are imposed.
All other correspondence relating to TOC/COF/NC with the Flag is to be dealt with by the CFO/DSO
directly.
Issue of statutory certificates

"Conditional" statutory certificates are not to be issued and the term "conditional" certificates must no longer
be used when referring to statutory certificates.
Statutory certificates must be issued as either a "full term", "interim" or "short term" certificate.
A "full term" certificate may be issued upon satisfactory completion of an initial or periodical/renewal survey
indicating that the ship and its equipment meet the applicable provisions of a particular convention. A 'full
term' certificate may also be issued or reissued after revalidation when all deficiencies, which may have led
to the issuance of a "short term" certificate, are corrected. The certificate is issued in the format prescribed
by the applicable convention with a term of validity as set forth in that convention.
An "interim" certificate may be issued by an attending Surveyor upon satisfactory completion of a survey in
order to permit the ship to trade while the 'full term' certificate is being prepared by LR's head or regional
office.
Where a change of flag has taken place 'interim' certificates should be issued while 'full term' certificates
are being prepared for the balance of the term of the preceding 'full term' certificates.
A "short term" certificate may be issued after the Administration's consent when minor deficiencies are
found to exist which do not prevent the ship from proceeding to sea without danger to the ship, to the
persons on board or to the marine environment, but which cannot be corrected in the port of survey.
There is a need for some form of temporary or 'short term' certificate detailing requirements or conditions on
a vessel. The issuer of a "short term" certificate is stating that the vessel is temporarily not in full
compliance with the applicable statutory requirement but does meet certain required standards that should
provide a generally equivalent level of safety for a specified period of time by the expiration of which more
acceptable and permanent full compliance is provided.

Such a 'short term' certificate shall replace the permanent certificate, which is to be removed, and permits a
ship to proceed to a port where the necessary corrections will be made. In such cases, the validity of 'short
term' certification is not to exceed one month, except when specifically allowed by the Administration.
Incircumstances which require the issuance of a "short term" certificate, any major deficiency must be
relegated to minor status first, to the satisfaction of the attending Surveyor, before the vessel will be allowed
to proceed under a "short term" certificate.
In every instance where it is necessary to issue a "short term" certificate, the owner/operator, or class
society on behalf of the owner/operator, is to seek the approval of the Administration appraising it of the
situation. The Administration is to be provided with a copy of the certificate issued by LR.
While the Administration agrees that the owner/operator has a responsibility to make certain that conditions
onboard a vessel do not deteriorate after the issuance of a "short term" certificate, this does not relieve the
class society from the obligation to monitor and follow up on vessels issued such certificates, especially
when the owner/operator has allowed the short term certificate to expire.
Statutory certificates are only to be issued provided all other Statutory Certificates are in order.
The day, month and year of the date on which the keel was laid is to be shown on all SOLAS certificates
which have a keel laying date field.
LR may only extend the validity of SOLAS, MARPOL and Loadline Certificates upon obtaining prior
approval of the Administration, within the terms laid down in the applicable conventions.
In certain extreme cases, if the circumstances so require, LR may, with the approval of the Administration,
and after due consideration of the particulars of the case involved, issue short term renewal certificates
valid for not more than three months as agreed between the Administration and LR after completion of a
satisfactory on board examination similar to an Annual Survey.
Extensions to allow the ship to complete its voyage to the Flag State or port to which it is to be surveyed will
be limited to 30 days.
Certificates in electronic format

See Circular letter No. 2953 for information relating to certificates issues by the Administration in electronic
format.
Ships in 'Laid-up' status (certificates)

Owner is to advise Flag of intention for vessel to go into laid-up status. Flag will then issue a Provisional
Certificate of Registry in Laid Up Status
Full-term Safety Construction, Safety Equipment, Safety Radio, and Load Line certificates are to be
removed and retained by the Classification Society at the Owners request.
The withdrawn statutory certificates will be retained in safe keeping in the local office until such time as the
ship is reactivated. If during the lay-up period the certificates expire, they will be cancelled.
If a Liberian Nautical Inspector has withdrawn the certificates then the withdrawn statutory certificates will
be forwarded to the nearest LR exclusive office with a letter outlining the circumstances.
On reactivation of a ship, the Flag will issue a new Certificate of Registry. At this time the statutory
certificates may be re-issued to the vessel.
Reporting General
LR is to advise the Administration by email when:
1. An interim or full-term Class Certificate is issued
2. An initial, interim or full-term statutory certification upon registration or re-registration of a vessel is
issued

LR is to promptly advise the Administration by email or fax in case where the original classification status of
a vessel is temporarily changed or material and/or operational restrictions are imposed.Such cases are
deemed to be those involving surveys of outstanding deficiencies and, if necessary, temporary repairs
which enable a vessel to sail for only a limited period. Examples of such restrictions are:
1. In specified ballast and/or loaded conditions;
2. At reduced speed and/or machinery output;
3. With reduced availability of power for essential power consumption;
4. In restricted areas of navigation or on specific voyages only;
5. For operation in specified weather conditions;
6. Under tow or under escort.
LR is to advise the Administration of such cases when a vessel has been deemed fit to proceed to sea
promptly forwarding to the Administration copies of any amended certificates which may have been issued.
If LR finds that a vessel is not in substantial compliance with the applicable instruments and International
Standards and therefore deemed not fit to proceed to sea without danger to the vessel or persons on board,
or presents an unreasonable threat of harm to the marine environment, LR will, on behalf of the
Administration, immediately advise the Master and/or owner of the vessel to undertake corrective action,
and if such corrective action is not taken to the satisfaction of the surveyor, withdraw or invalidate the
statutory certificates and will immediately notify the Administration of this determination by the most
expeditious means.
If a statutory certificate is withdrawn or cancelled, the LR surveyor is to inform the Master and/or owner of
the vessel in writing that the statutory certificate(s) is(are) invalidated as of the date of the written notice and
request thatthe statutory certificate(s) in question be surrendered.
LR is to advise the Administration immediately when it intends to suspend, modify or invalidate/withdraw

any documents or certificates including class documents issued to any vessel and/or company by LR.
LR is to notify the Administration promptly, of any detentions, contraventions, casualties and/or pollution
incidents brought to their knowledge involving vessels that would appear to warrant a report to the IMO in
accordance with SOLAS I/19 and 21 or MARPOL, Article 6.
LR is to advise the Administration by email or fax of:

1. The issuance of a conditional certificate
2. Any occasions when the classification of any vessel has been suspended, withdrawn or cancelled for
any reason
3. Those major (serious and very serious) casualties, as defined in SOLAS I/21 and SOLAS XI-2/6,
Casualty Investigation Code, Resolution MSC.255(84), which come to LR's attention, together with the
stated cause where known, which would normally result in suspension of Class or possible suspension
of a statutory certificate.
4. Where the Administration suspects that a change of Flag from Liberia has occurred, and upon written
request from the Administration, LR agrees to provide verification that a change of Flag survey has been
conducted on the vessel with conformation of the details.
Exemptions, waivers, extensions of certificates

All exceptions and approvals for experimental purposes, all exemptions and all equivalencies referred to in
any of the Conventions will be reviewed and approved, as necessary, directly by the Administration. LR will,
however,:
1. Bring any requests for such consideration to the attention of the Administration, and
2. Provide technical advice as and when required on the advisability of granting any such request.
Applications for exemptions are to be made to the Liberian Administration.After their approval LR is
authorised to issue an interim exemption certificate, valid 5 months. The Administration will issue the full
term exemption certificate.

For extension of the validity of any statutory certificates, LR is to request agreement for the issuance of
such extension from the Administration in writing.
In instances where, temporarily, the requirements of an applicable instrument cannot be met under
particular circumstances, LR, with prior permission of the Administration, may specify such measures ore
supplementary equipment as may be available to permit the vessel to proceed to a suitable port where
permanent repairs or rectification can be effected or replacement equipment fitted.
Change of Flag and/or Change of Class
For information relating to the Confirmation of Class Certificate see

http://thehub/livelinkprod/llisapi.dll/intranet/822846/(for internal use only).
The Confirmation of Class Certificate is to be issued by DCE Houston. The CFO/DSO should deal directly
with the Administration on all other matters relating to the Transfer of Class (ToC)/Change of Flag (CoF).
If a vessel has previously been classed with a classification society not recognised by Liberia and transfer
of Class is envisioned at the time of registration, issuance of the statutory certificates on behalf of the
Administration by LR is to be conditional upon verification of compliance with the statutory requirements of
the applicable instruments.
The Administration is to be informed by emailas soon asa request for a CoF survey is received from an
owner and again once the CoF survey has been completed.
Crew Accommodation
For requirements relating to crew accommodation, refer to the Crew Accommodation section.It is important
to notethe requirement for crew accommodation certification for vessels changing Flag to Liberia.
Requirements relating to Safety Radio when Change of Flag is outside survey range dates
If the Change of Flag (CoF) is carried out outside the Safety Radio survey range dates, a full safety radio
survey is not required. At the CoF, the LR surveyor, in conjunction with the attending radio technician as
necessary, should verify that the vessel communication equipment has been re-programmed with the
applicable Liberian numbers and designations and that it will properly broadcast as such.
The SSAS systemis tobe tested and the confirmation from Liberia is to be submitted to LR as proof that
the system is working and that the new information is available and correct.
The LRIT must also be activated with the Liberian Administration at the CoF. It may be possible to grant a
dispensation to allow the vessel additional time to have the LRIT activated for Liberia.
LRIT
With regard to the verification of LRIT and issuance of a Safety Equipment Certificate to a Liberian flag
vessel at the COF suvey, the following applies:
1. The LR surveyor should verify that the vessel has a LRIT Conformance Test report issued on behalf of
the vessel's previous Flag.
a) if the test as conducted by one of the testing ASP (Polestar, Transas or Fulcrum) that are also authorised
by Liberia then LR should
i) issue the vessel a short term Safety Equipment Certificate valid for 30 days
ii) instruct the owner to contact the ASP that conducted the test to have the Conformance Test results sent
to the Liberian Administration indicating the vessel's new particulars (i.e. MMSI distinctive numbers, Port of
Registry, and Name, if applicable) but without altering the date of completion of the conformance test.
Upon receipt of this information the Liberian Administration will issue the vessel a Liberian LRIT
Conformance Test Certificate.
Once the vessel has received its LRIT Conformance Test Certificate from the Liberian Administration LR
can administratively issue the vessel the full term Safety Equipment Certificate if there are no other
outstanding items. If necessary once the LRIT Conformance Test Certificate has been received by the

vesselLR may administratively extend the short term Safety Equipment Certificate for up to two additional
months to allow additional time for rectification of any other outstanding items.
b) If the Conformance Test report from the vessel's previous flag was not issued by an ASP authorised by
Liberia LR should:
i) issue the vessel a short term Safety Equipment Certificate valid for thirty (30) days.
ii) instruct the owners to contact one of the testing ASPs authorised by Liberia to arrange to have another
conformance test conducted prior to the expiration of the short term Safety Equipment Certificate. (Please
note that the LRIT Conformance Test results will be forwarded automatically to the Administration by the
authorised testing ASP for issuance of the LRIT Conformance Certificate.)
Upon receipt of this information the Liberian Administration will issue the vessel a Liberian LRIT
Conformance Test Certificate.
Once the vessel has received its LRIT Conformance Test Certificate from the Liberian Administration LR
can administratively issue the vessel the full term Safety Equipment Certificate if there are no other
outstanding items. If necessary once the LRIT Conformance Test Certificate has been received by the
vesselLR may administratively extend the short term Safety Equipment Certificate for up to two additional
months to allow additional time for rectification of any other outstanding items.
2. If the attending LR surveyor determines that the vessel has no LRIT Conformance Test Report and/or no
LRIT installed then LR should issue the vessel a short term Safety Equipment Certificate valid for thirty
days and inform the vessel owners to contact the Administration regarding this issue.
Port State Control
The Administration is to be informed when surveyors are called to attend a Liberian vessel which has been
detained. The Duty Officer's contact details above are to be used.
The Administration is to be advised by email when an appeal against a detention is lodged.
LR is to cooperate with Port State Control officers to facilitate the rectification of reported deficiencies and
defects on behalf of the Administration on vessels to which LR has issued relevant statutory certification
and to keep the Administration fully informed.
LR is, in accordance with Resolution A.787(19), as amended, evaluate and monitor any SMS
non-conformities observed by Port State Control authorities which would warrant the detention of a vessel
for which LR has provided ISM certification or ISPS Code verification and certification. LR is to report to the
Administration the results of its evaluation.
Requirements General
Approval of Statutory Equipment required by SOLAS and MARPOL

Liberia will accept EC type approved equipment in compliance with the EC Marine Equipment Directive on
board ships registered under Liberian flag if the approval was issued by one of the following classification
societies subject to the class society being Authorised by an EU member to issue such approval:
Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, Det Norske Veritas, Germanischer Lloyd, Registro Italiano Navale, Nippon
Kaiji Kyokai, Polski Rejestr Statkow, Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, American Bureau of Shipping,
China Classification, Society Korean Register of Shipping
Type approvals in accordance with EC Directive 96/98 issued by other organisations are acceptable for use
on board Liberian flag vessels unless the classification society has reason to suspect the approval. If that is
the case the Administration is to be contacted for a determination on the acceptance of equipment.
IACS Unified Interpretations (UIs)

Those IACS UIs that are approved by the IMO, unless indicated otherwise by the Administration, are to be
applied by LR with respect to the IMO convention regulations concerned in the course of statutory
certification of vessels on behalf of the Administration. IACS UIs that have been submitted to IMO, but

Immersion suits and thermal protective aids

Inspection, testing and repair of immersion suits
1. Monthly and annual visual inspection: selected and trained members of the crew may conduct the
monthly and annual visual inspection of the immersion suits on board the vessel
2. Air pressure test: Seams and closures of immersion suits are to be tested in accordance with the
guidance contained in MSC/Circ.1114 as follows:
3. Air test by ship's crew: Although MSC/Circ.1114 states it is preferable to have the air pressure test
conducted at a suitable shore-based facility equipped to make any repairs in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendation, allowances are given for the air pressure test to be conducted on
board, provided the ship has suitable equipment to conduct the test and the test crew is properly trained.
If the ship operator elects to conduct the air test of the immersion suits on board they may do so,
provided:
Provision of immersion suits/thermal protective aids

For the purposes of SOLAS III/7.3, III/22.4.1.2, III/32.3.2.3 and III/32.3.3.3, the Administration defines warm
climates as being that between 32 North and 32 South latitudes. For vessels, other than bulk carriers
operating exclusively within this trading zone, immersion suits and thermal protective aids will not be
required. However, the thermal protective aids described in Sections 4.1.5.1.24, 4.4.8.31, and 5.1.2.2.13 of
the LSA Code, are an integral part of survival craft and rescue boat equipment and must be provided
regardless of vessel route. An exemption certificate is needed (issued by the Administration) when waiving
immersion suits in warm waters.
The Administration defines cold climates as the areas of operation above 50 N and 50 S latitudes. For the
prolonged operation of vessels with open lifeboats in cold climates, the Office of the Deputy Commissioner
requires that immersion suits constructed in accordance with LSA Code Section 2.3 be provided for all
persons on board.
Existing cargo ships subject to these regulations, and any new cargo ships constructed after 1 July 2006,
are to carry immersion suits for every person on board, no later than the first safety equipment survey on or
after 1 July 2006. In addition, any ship subject to this regulation are also to provide additional immersion
suits to allow quick access for individuals working at some distances from where their immersion suits are
stowed. This would be similar to the protection afforded by the requirement for an additional liferaft fitted
forward and/or aft as required by SOLAS III/31.1.4, and the additional lifejackets required by SOLAS
III/7.2.2.
i. As an example, in addition to the immersion suit for every person carried on board the ship, at least two
additional immersion suits of adequate size are required to be carried near the additional liferaft(s) when
remotely located either forward or aft, so that the immersion suits may be readily available to crew
working out on deck away from the accommodation block (refer to MSC.1/Circ.1243). See part 5 and
Appendix II to determine remote locations".
ii. A number of additional immersion suits may also be required at other locations, if the LR surveyor
determines that there are remote watch or work stations, which are located in a place, that in an
emergency it is unreasonable to expect him or her to acquire the assigned immersion suit.
iii. Form E of the Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate: The total number of immersion suits on board is
required to be listed in section 2.8.8.1 of Form E to the Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate (SEC).
This number should include the immersion suits required for every person on board and the additional
required for any watch or work stations which are considered "remote locations". Thus, in most cases,
the number of immersion suits in section 2.8.8.1 should be more than the number listed in section 2.1 of
Form E. If the total number of immersion suits required for every person on board is less than the total
listed in 2.1 of Form E of the current SEC, the Owner/Operator has the option to request LR to reduce
the number in 2.1, or to provide additional immersion suits to match the number in section 2.1. In
making this decision, Owners/Operators should consider the possible future need to carry additional
persons on board and the requirement to provide additional immersion suits and other life-saving
appliances.
Immersion suits and thermal protective aids are to be assigned by the Master. It is recommended that they
should be kept in staterooms along with lifejackets.
An immersion suit is to be assigned for every person assigned to crew the rescue boat, and is to be readily
accessible. The immersion suits required by III/32.3 may be used to comply with the immersion suits
required for the rescue boat crew.

For cargo vessels less than 85 meters in length operating above 32 North and 32 South latitudes where
only liferafts are carried in accordance with SOLAS III/31.1.3, all persons are to be provided with immersion
suits.
MSC.1/Circ.1278 provides excellent guidance regarding the wearing of immersion suits in totally enclosed
lifeboats. In general, immersion suits should not be worn when boarding totally enclosed lifeboats. While
abandon ship drills are a good opportunity to
examine and demonstrate the use of immersion suits, crew training during these drills should emphasise
that immersion suits are intended primarily to ensure thermal protection in cases where the totally enclosed
lifeboat cannot be embarked on.
Short term permit to carry a number of persons in excess of that allowed by the Safety
Equipment Certificate
On occasion, it may be necessary for a vessel to temporarily carry persons on board in excess of the
maximum number of persons authorised by the vessel's Safety Equipment Certificate or MODU/MOU
Certificate, as applicable. When physically possible, the installed lifeboats should be recertified to provide
the necessary capacity. If the existing lifeboats are already certified to their maximum capacity, the
Administration may allow, for legitimate verifiable reasons, the substitution of inflatable liferaft capacity
appropriately installed in accordance with regulatory requirements to augment the required lifeboat
complement as a temporary measure of equivalency.
Temporary measures will be limited to the minimum period of time required for the additional persons to be
on board, and in general will not exceed three months. This accommodation will only be allowed with the
specific approval of the Administration, provided:
i. The additional persons are limited to a reasonable number,
ii. Additional liferafts are installed on the vessel in order to maintain the minimum survival craft capacity for
all persons on board,
iii. The necessary additional personal life-saving appliances are provided,
iv. Immersions suits are provided for the additional persons if the vessel transits above 32 North or 32
South,
v. The vessel does reasonably adhere to the appropriate accommodation provisions of ILO Convention 92
and 133,
vi. The vessel's Masteris toensure that the additional persons are briefed on the vessel's evacuation and
emergency procedures prior to the vessel getting underway.
For the temporary carriage of additional persons for a period of 30 days or more LR will be instructed to
issue the vessel a short term Safety Equipment Certificate authorising the increase in the maximum number
of persons onboard. For periods of less than 30 days the Administration will issue an authorisation letter
permitting the carriage of the additional persons.
The vessel's Master is to ensure that the procedures in the vessel's approved ship security plan are
followed regarding accounting for and identifying all persons on board. The vessel's Master is to ensure that
all of the additional persons have proper identification and, if applicable, passports prior to the vessel
getting underway with the additional persons on board. The names and identification documents for each
additional person must be entered on the vessel's muster list or other appropriate document in accordance
with the approved ship security plan. Without this information the vessel may be denied entry into ports with
the additional persons on board. When entering a port the ship must notify the port authorities that the
additional persons are on board.
Prohibition of "hot work" in tankers and combination carriers

The practice of carrying out any "hot work" in vessels that are carrying, or have carried, flammable liquid
cargoes is prohibited except under the conditions specified in Marine Notice SAF-002.
Recommendations for personnel entering enclosed spaces on board ships

Recommendations to be followed by personnel entering enclosed spaces on board ships, including cargo
spaces, tanks, pump rooms, fuel tanks, cofferdams, duct keels, ballast tanks and similar enclosed spaces
can be found in Marine Notice SAF-003.

Where a radio operator does not hold a valid Liberian licence, but does hold a valid national radio operating
certificate, any Safety Radio Certificate issued is to be restricted in validity to a period of not more than 90
days.
The VHF radio, required by SOLAS 74, Ch IV, Reg. 7.1.1, is to be capable of operating on distress, safety,
calling, inter-ship, port operation and vessel traffic channels. Local port and state channel allocations for
intended areas of operation are to be available.
VHF radio communications, as required by SOLAS 74, Ch IV, Reg. 6.3, must be possible from the bridge
wings. Portable VHFequipment(such as a walkie/talkie) with sufficient ship-to-ship channels is acceptable.
When such portable equipment is used it is not necessary to install a fixed VHF installation on the bridge
wings.
If an INMARSAT-A Ship-Earth Station is utilized as part of GMDSS equipment, the satellite terminal and all
peripheral equipment, including the gyrocompass used to aim the antenna, must be connected to an
adequate reserve source of energy.
The Liberia Administration accepts an Inmarsat Fleet F77 terminal as an equivalent to the direct-printing
telegraphy part of an MF/HF radio installation in sea areas A1, A2 and A3. This is conditional upon the
MF/HF radio installation using EGC; that the radiotelephony is fully operational and that such ships are also
provided with an Inmarsat-C ship earth station.
The INMARSAT Fleet F77 meets the requirements of IMO Resolution A.888(21).
The INMARSAT Fleet F77 terminal shall be installed in accordance with the IMO guidelines on
harmonisation of GMDSS requirements for radio installations on board SOLAS ships (COMSAR/Circ.32), in
particular with respect to the reserve source of energy and antenna.
For Liberian ships using the MF radio installation option with two INMARSAT-C ship earth stations, in order
to remove one of the INMARSAT-C stations and fit an INMARSAT Fleet F77 terminal, the MF Digital
Selective Calling (DSC) unit will need to be re-programmed to allow operation and watch keeping on the
MF and HF DSC frequencies. The ship may then be equipped with an MF/HF installation without telex over
radio but with INMARSAT Fleet F77 insteadand one INMARSAT-C station for duplication and to cover the
EGC requirements.
Where INMARSAT Fleet 77 equipment is used to provide for duplication, the following note is to be added
to the Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate in the free text box to the left of the signature block:
"INMARSAT Fleet 77 has been accepted by the Administration in accordance with IMO SLS.14 Circ.530 as
an equivalent arrangement to SOLAS IV R. 10.1.1"
Liberia has adopted the recommendations on the performance standards for float-free 406 MHz satellite
EPIRB, as outlined in IMO Assembly Resolutions A.694 (17) and A.763 (18). In addition to the items
specified in IMO Res. A.694 (17) on general requirements, the following are to be clearly indicated on the
exterior of the equipment:
l brief operating instructions;

l expiry date for the primary battery used; and
l the identity code programmed into the transmitter.
When the at sea maintenance capability has not been specified, two qualified operators who are deck
officers, or one exclusive certificated radio electronics officer, are required.

Underwater examination of hull in lieu of drydocking

Operators of Liberian passenger vessels should make the request to perform an underwater examination in
lieu of drydocking directly to LR. LR will evaluate the request and, after considering all relevant information,
make a recommendation to the Administration. If the request is approved, the underwater examination will
be performed according to LRs procedures, taking into account MSC.1/Circ.1348, to the satisfaction of the
attending surveyor.
Passenger vessels of 15 years of age or less are to be examined in drydock at least twice during any five
year period and the span between these drydock examinations is not to exceed three years. Underwater
examinations may be requested for the three remaining
annual inspections in accordance with the procedures outlined above. Due to the limit of three years
between drydockings, requests for more than two consecutive underwater examinations in lieu of
drydocking will not be considered.
Passenger vessels of more than 15 years of age must have the outer bottom of the hull examined in
drydock at least every other year. Underwater examinations in lieu of drydockings for the alternate years
may be requested in accordance with the procedures
described above.

Multiple Load Line Certificates

Authorisation for Multiple Load Line Certificates will be given on a case-by-case basis.
Original issue
To obtain more than one load line the owner/operator must make a request in writing to
technical@liscr.com.
The request will be evaluated, and if acceptable, an authorisation letter will be issued. The letter will
authorise LR to carry out the necessary geometric, strength, and stability calculations and perform the
required surveys for issuance of an additional load line(s) to the vessel.
LR will then issue the appropriate Load Line convention certificate for each assignment. A copy of each
certificate with a cover letter indicating the owner's request and actions taken should be forwarded by LR or
the owner to technical@liscr.com.
On the basis of the information received from LR, the Administration will issue a Load Line Assignment
Book with instructions to the owner and Master.
Four copies of the Assignment Book will be prepared and distributed as follows:
1. a 'vessel' copy to the operator for placement on board the ship
2. an 'office' copy for the owner/operator's file;
3. one copy to the vessel's classification society; and
4. one copy will be retained by the Administration.
Renewals
Once issued, itis the responsibility of the owner to maintain the currency and completeness of the
Assignment Book and to make requests to the Administration for renewal upon its expiration. The owneris
also torequest revision and amendment of the Assignment Book if additional freeboards are assigned to
the vessel. In such cases LR or the owner the vessel, after completion of the applicable surveys, must
forward two copies of the reissued load line certificates along with a cover letter to the Technical Division
indicating that the certificates are being forwarded for reissuance or revision of the Assignment Book as
applicable.
Conditions
An Assignment Book for each vessel that has been issued multiple Load Line Certificates must be on board
the vessel for the use of the vessel's Master and the LR surveyor in verifying any changes to the load line
marks. The conditions pertaining to the Assignment Book are as follows:
1. The Master must ensure that only the freeboard marks for the intended voyage are exhibited on the
vessel's hull and all others are to be painted over before the loading of cargo begins.
2. Only the Load Line Certificate in use should be displayed. All Load Line Certificates not in use are to be
replaced in a sealed envelope and locked in the Master's safe.
3. The Master may alter freeboard marks for the vessel in accordance with the applicable Load Line
Certificate and Assignment Book. The Master is to enter the change in the vessel's official logbook.
There is no need to have a LR surveyor present at the alteration of the freeboard marks.
4. During the periodical inspection required by Article 14(c) of the International Load Line Convention the
attending LR
surveyor is to verify the Load Line marks and endorse the corresponding Load Line Certificates.
