.2 to develop further, in close co-operation with the Secretariat, draft amendments to the Code for the Implementation of Mandatory IMO Instruments while identifying the items in document FSI 16/INF.4 that had not been dealt with to date in the amendments to the Code and have been left for future amendments, using as a basis the annexes to documents FSI 16/11 (annex 2) and FSI 16/INF.4, in accordance with the course of action approved by the Sub-Committee;

.3 to consider further the drafting of survey guidelines addressing AFS through the

possible addition of an appendix either to the Survey Guidelines under the HSSC or to resolution MEPC.102(48);

.4 to prepare a draft MSC/MEPC resolution or circular concerning guidance on the

timing of replacement of existing certificates by the certificates issued after the entry into force of amendments to certificates in IMO instruments; and

.5 to submit a report to FSI 17.

2 Representatives of the following countries took part in the correspondence group�s work: Angola, Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, China, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Liberia, Malta, the Marshall Islands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. Observers from the non-governmental organization IACS (International Association of Classification Societies) also took part. 3 The group used the �Correspondence Group Forum� internet platform provided in the Organization�s GISIS website. It hopes that all members will become familiar with this means of exchange and will exploit its potential to the full in the future. Review of resolution A.997(25) 4 The work of the correspondence group focuses on amendments to the relevant IMO regulatory instruments. The group addressed the requirements deriving from the amendments that will enter into force up to and including 31 December 2009. 5 In addition, in our preparation of the draft resolution we have taken into account editorial comments concerning resolution A.997(25) made by the Organization�s Publishing Service, which were kindly passed to us by the Secretariat. We wish to thank the Publishing Service for its careful scrutiny of resolution A.997(25). 6 The outcome of the correspondence group�s work is set out in annex 1. 7 Regarding the inclusion of guidelines relating to the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships, the majority of the members who contributed were of the opinion that it would be advisable to refrain from mentioning that convention in the HSSC Survey Guidelines. 8 References to the AFS Convention have thus been crossed out pending confirmation by the Sub-Committee whether the check for the onboard presence of an AFS Certificate should be retained in the guidelines.

9 The Sub-Committee may consider it necessary to ensure that the certificate required under the AFS Convention is kept on board. Thus, only matters relating to the above-mentioned verification have been kept in square brackets, pending the decision of the Sub-Committee. 10 The survey guidelines which have been developed in view of the AFS Convention are contained in the document in annex 4. This document could be attached to resolution MEPC.102(48). 11 One member of the correspondence group expressed the opinion that it is now time to revise the whole of resolution MEPC.102(48) in the light of experience gained. 12 In accordance with a decision taken by the Sub-Committee at its fourteenth session, the group has not included in the Guidelines any provisions of the 2004 Ballast Water Management Convention. However, since certain provisions of that convention entered into force implicitly on 1 January 2009, the group suggests that the Sub-Committee should refer to the provisions of document BWM.2/Circ.7. Amendments to resolution A.996(25) 13 The work of the correspondence group focuses on amendments to the relevant IMO regulatory instruments and also takes into account the new provisions adopted since the last session whose entry into force extends until 2010. 14 The outcome of the group�s work on amendments to the Code for the Implementation of IMO mandatory instruments is set out in annex 2. Identification of items that have not been dealt with to date 15 The group reviewed documents FSI 15/12/1 and FSI 16/INF.4 in order to identify items within them that have not been dealt with to date. 16 The outcome of the group�s work after considering the above-mentioned documents is set out in annex 3. Preparation of a draft MSC-MEPC circular on Guidance on the timing of replacement of existing certificates by the certificates issued after the entry into force of amendments to certificates in IMO instruments 17 One member of the group recalled that the Marine Environment Protection Committee had dealt with a comparable situation at its fifty-fourth session and had approved circular MEPC.1/513 (18 April 2006) stating the terms of validity of IOPP certificates and their supplements issued prior to the entry into force of the revised MARPOL Annex I on 1 January 2007. 18 The group decided to adopt a similar approach to that taken by the MEPC and drafted the joint MSC-MEPC circular contained in annex 5.

Consideration of consolidated audit summary reports 19 The Sub-Committee will recall its decision that the Correspondence Group on Consolidated Audit Summary Reports should work under the auspices of our group. We are grateful to the delegation of the United Kingdom for coordinating this part of the work. 20 The summary of that particular group�s work is contained in part 2 of this report. Action requested of the Sub-Committee 21 The Sub-Committee is invited to consider the results of the group�s work and take action as appropriate.

DRAFT MSC/MEPC CIRCULAR

GUIDANCE ON THE TIMING OF REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING CERTIFICATES BY THE CERTIFICATES ISSUED AFTER THE ENTRY INTO FORCE OF

AMENDMENTS TO CERTIFICATES IN IMO INSTRUMENTS The Marine Safety Committee, at its eighty-sixth session [(27 May to 5 June 2009)] and the Marine Environment Protection Committee at its fifty-ninth session [(13 to 17 July 2009)] reviewed the matter of the replacement of existing certificates by the certificates issued after the entry into force of amendments to certificate in IMO instruments. In conducting such a review, both Committees noted that a comparable case was already addressed by the Marine Environment Protection Committee at its fifty-fourth session (20 to 24 March 2006). The Committee then approved circular MEPC.1/Circ.513 Validity of the IOPP Certificate and Supplements issued under the current MARPOL Annex I after 1 January 2007, subsequently released on 18 April 2006. Both Committees agreed to adopt the following guidance with regard to the replacement of existing certificates by the certificate issued after the entry into force of amendments to certificates in all IMO instruments (such as the Load-Lines Convention, the SOLAS Convention and the MARPOL Conventions and Codes made mandatory under these Conventions): 1. In cases where the ship has not to comply with new requirements, the certificate (and its

attachment, if any) is not reissued until its expiry; 2. In cases where the ship has to comply with new requirements, the certificate (and its

attachment, if any) is re-issued at the opportunity of the first survey occurring after the date of entry into force of the amendments;

3. Where a ship is subjected to a modification or conversion which involves an additional

survey, the certificate (and its attachment, if any) is re-issued. Member Government and Parties to the IMO Conventions are invited to note the above and to bring this Circular to the attention of all parties concerned, in particular port State control officers under their jurisdiction.
