special circumstances, the new certificate shall be valid to:
(i) for a passenger ship, a date not exceeding 12 months from the
date of completion of the renewal survey;
(ii) for a cargo ship, a date not exceeding five years from the
date of completion of the renewal survey.
(h) If an annual, intermediate or periodical survey is completed
before the period specified in the relevant regulations then:
(i) the anniversary date shown on the relevant certificate shall
be amended by endorsement to a date which shall not be more than three
months later than the date on which the survey was completed;

nominated surveyors or recognized organizations responsible for the issue
of the certificates shall also be notified. The facts concerning the
intervention shall be reported to the Organization.
(e) The port State authority concerned shall notify all relevant
information about the ship to the authorities of the next port of call, in

shall be made to avoid a ship being unduly detained or delayed. If a ship
is thereby unduly detained or delayed it shall be entitled to compensation
for any loss or damage suffered."
