Certificates issued or endorsed on behalf of another Government

(1) IMMARBE may, at the request of another Contracting Government, verify a ship and, if satisfied that the provisions of section 19.1.1 of the ISPS Code are complied with, issue or authorise the issue of a Certificate to the ship and, where appropriate, endorse or authorise the endorsement of that Certificate on the ship, in accordance with the ISPS Code. (2) A Certificate so issued shall contain a statement to the effect that it has been issued at the request of that Government and it shall have the same effect as if the Certificate were issued or endorsed by that Government and not by IMMARBE.
