1.

An International Load Line Certificate shall be issued for a period specified by the Administration, which shall not exceed 5 years.

2

a)

Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph 1, when the renewal survey is completed within 3 months before the expiry date of the existing certificate, the new certificate shall be valid from the date of completion of the renewal survey to a date not exceeding 5 years from the date of expiry of the existing certificate.

b)

When the renewal survey is completed after the expiry date of the existing certificate, the new certificate shall be valid from the date of completion of the renewal survey to a date not exceeding 5 years from the date of expiry of the existing certificate.

c)

When the renewal survey is completed more than 3 months before the expiry date of the existing certificate, the new certificate shall be valid from the date of completion of the renewal survey to a date not exceeding 5 years from the date of completion of the renewal survey.

3.

If a certificate is issued for a period of less than 5 years, the Administration may extend the validity of a certificate beyond the expiry date to the maximum period specified in paragraph 1, provided that the annual surveys referred to in article 14 applicable when a certificate is issued for a period of 5 years are carried out as appropriate.

4.

If, after the renewal survey referred to in paragraph lb) of article 14, a new certificate cannot be issued to the ship before the expiry date of the existing certificate, the person or organization carrying out the survey may extend the validity of the existing certificate for a period which shall not exceed 5 months. This extension shall be endorsed on the certificate, and shall be granted only where there have been no alterations in the structure, equipment, arrangements, materials or scantlings which affect the ship's freeboard.

5.

If a ship at the time when a certificate expires is not in a port in which it is to be surveyed, the Administration may extend the period of validity of the certificate but this extension shall be granted only for the purpose of allowing the ship to complete its voyage to the port in which it is to be surveyed, and then only in cases where it appears proper and reasonable to do so. No certificate shall be extended for a period longer than 3 months, and a ship to which an extension is granted shall not, on its arrival in the port in which it is to be surveyed, be entitled by virtue of such extension to leave that port without having a new certificate. When the renewal survey is completed, the new certificate shall be valid to a date not exceeding 5 years from the date of expiry of the existing certificate before the extension was granted.

6.

A certificate issued to a ship engaged on short voyages which has not been extended under the foregoing provisions of this article may be extended by the Administration for a period of grace of up to one month from the date of expiry stated on it. When the renewal survey is completed the new certificate shall be valid to a date not exceeding 5 years from the date of expiry of the existing certificate before the extension was granted.

7.

In special circumstances, as determined by the Administration, a new certificate need not be dated from the date of expiry of the existing certificate as required by paragraphs 2, 5 and 6. In these special circumstances, the new certificate shall be valid to a date not exceeding 5 years from the date of completion of the renewal survey.

8.

If an annual survey is completed before the period specified in article 14 then:

a)

the anniversary date shown on the certificate shall be amended by endorsement to a date which shall not be more than 3 months later than the date on which the survey was completed;

b)

the subsequent annual survey required by article 14 shall be completed at the intervals prescribed by that article using the new anniversary date;

c)

the expiry date may remain unchanged provided one or more annual surveys are carried out so that the maximum intervals between the surveys prescribed by article 14 are not exceeded.

9.

An International Load Line Certificate shall cease to be valid if any of the following circumstances exist:

a)

material alterations have taken place in the hull or superstructures of the ship such as would necessitate the assignment of an increased freeboard;

b)

the fittings and appliances mentioned in paragraph lc) of article 14 are not maintained in an effective condition;

c)

the certificate is not endorsed to show that the ship has been surveyed as provided in paragraph lc) of article 14;

d)

the structural strength of the ship is lowered to such an extent that the ship is unsafe.

10

a)

The duration of an International Load Line Exemption Certificate issued by an Administration to a ship exempted under paragraph 2 of article 6 shall not exceed 5 years. Such certificate shall be subject to a renewal, endorsement, extension and cancellation procedure similar to that provided for an International Load Line Certificate under this article.

b)

The duration of an International Load Line Exemption Certificate issued to a ship exempted under paragraph 4 of article 6 shall be limited to the single voyage for which it is issued.

11.

A certificate issued to a ship by an Administration shall cease to be valid upon the transfer of such a ship to the flag of another State.
