Marshall Islands Administration had changed the definition of "Bulk Carrier" on SC / SE / SF Certificates (for the vessels which keel was laid on or after 1st July 2006) from Regulation 1.6 of Chapter IX to Regulation 1.1of Chapter XII.

As a result of the above, "Marshall Islands" have been deleted from Item 2. (2) of No.TEC-0808 (dated on 1 April 2010).

"Type of ship" described in Ship Safety Construction Certificate and Ship Safety Equipment Certificate for the captioned existing vessels has been rewritten at Head Office (CLD) in accordance with the instruction of Marshall Island Administration.

For any questions about the above, please contact:
