How should Continuous Synopsis Record be kept on board?
The Continuous Synopsis Record is treated as attached documents to the Ship Inspection Memorandums (Ship Safety Law), so it is recommended to keep them together. The Continuous Synopsis Record must be kept together with all pages issued by the flag state from the past to the present.
In what cases should the Ship Inspection Memorandums be renewed?
There are two types of Ship Inspection Memorandums: the Ship Inspection Memorandums (Ship Safety Law) which is orange file if issued on paper and the Ship Inspection Memorandums (Law relating the Prevention of Marine Pollution, Air Pollution and Maritime Disaster) which is green file if issued on paper. If you wish to change the ship name, port of registration, ship owner, etc., or if any changes occur, you must promptly apply for a renewal to JG.
Are the documents contained in the Ship Inspection Memorandums prepared in accordance with the requirements of international conventions?
No. Documents contained in the Ship Inspection Memorandums are required by Japanese domestic laws and are not relevant to the requirements of international conventions.
How can I extend the validity of Cargo Ship Safety Certificate when it is about to expire?
The Cargo Ship Safety Certificate is issued by a classification society that certifies the safety and suitability of a vessel. The Cargo Ship Safety Certificate has a fixed validity period, and must be renewed through Special Survey within that period. However, in some cases, it may not be possible to undergo Special Survey within the validity period. In such cases, the validity period of the Cargo Ship Safety Certificate can be extended by up to 3 months by applying to JG for an extension of the validity period.*Although the Cargo Ship Safety Certificate is issued by a classification society, applications for extension of the validity period should be made to JG.
When the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargo Code (IMSBC Code) is revised, what will happen to the list of cargoes can be carried by the ship?
The IMSBC Code is an international safety regulation for the carriage of solid bulk cargo at sea. The IMSBC Code is revised every two years. The revised IMSBC Code includes new cargo and changed carriage requirements. The list of cargoes can be carried by the ship must be updated in accordance with the amendments to the IMSBC Code. In addition, the list of cargoes can be carried by the ship is treated as an Attached Sheets to the ship inspection certificate and exemption certificate issued by JG, so it is necessary to apply for a renewal of each certificate to JG.
