2 This work was carried out in accordance with the provisions of section 2 of the annex
to the FAL Convention concerning formalities required of shipowners by public authorities on
the arrival, stay and departure of ships. It is reiterated that these provisions should not be read
as precluding a requirement for the presentation for inspection by the appropriate authorities
of certificates and other documents carried by the ship pertaining to its registry, measurement,
safety, manning, classification and other related matters.
4 This circular lists only the certificates and documents that are required under IMO
instruments and it does not include certificates or documents required by other international
organizations or governmental authorities.
5 The certificates and relevant record books may be in electronic form. In this
connection, the Guidelines developed by the Organization should be taken into account.
6 This circular should not be used in the context of port State control inspections for
which convention requirements should be referred to.
7 Member Governments are invited to note the information provided in the annex and
take action as appropriate.
***
Refer to the Guidelines for the use of electronic certificates (FAL.5/Circ.39/Rev.2) and Guidelines for the use
of electronic record books under MARPOL (resolution MEPC.312(74)).
