As stated by FAL.5/Circ.39/Rev.2, electronic statutory certificates issued by the Recognized Organizations should be valid in accordance with all applicable international instruments. Notwithstanding the recognition of electronic certificates by this Administration, all parties are reminded that ships should comply at all times with the local requirements of each specific port. This Bulletin should be kept on board for consultation by Port State Control, Classification Society surveyors/auditors or any other interested party.
GUIDANCE ON ’TYPE APPROVALS’ & Interpretation of “to the satisfaction of the Administration” (Barbados Maritime Bulletin No.288, 17 June 2018)
Type Approvals
Equipment will be considered to fall into two different categories:
1) Equipment specified by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), where there are standards developed by IMO committees. Recognised organisations shall accept such approved/adopted equipment for use on Barbados registered ships; as having been approved by maritime authorities and included in the list of approved equipment.
2) Equipment not specified by IMO, where conventions require “type approved” equipment: Barbados Maritime, in accordance with the provisions of the conventions, will accept equipment approved by IMO member countries, where those maritime countries have provision for approval of certain types of equipment and organisations must accept the equipment so approved.
3) In cases not covered by either of the above, the Recognised Organisations, acting on behalf of Barbados, shall accept national or international standards, or the standards developed by experienced organisations, for equipment or materials on board Barbados vessels.
4) In such circumstances, the Recognised Organisations must submit to Barbados Maritime the list of equipment that has been approved, when such approvals are required.
“To the satisfaction of the Administration”
5) In all cases where the phrase “to the satisfaction of the Administration” appears in conventions ratified by Barbados, we shall apply the rules or interpretations made by national or international standards, or standards developed by experienced organisations in such cases, such as the unified interpretations of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS).
6) Barbados Maritime Ship Registry may establish its own interpretations to allow for satisfactory means of complying with certain provisions of the Conventions, in which case, these would be applied exclusively to all Barbados registered ships. |

Overall authorization to inclining test of sister ship
In accordance with MSC.216(82) it is hereby confirmed that this Administration does not require the inclining experiment to be repeatedly carried out for sister vessel(s) being built in the same yard as the first build, provided that the accuracy of the stability information applied to the “sister” vessel is confirmed by the later carrying out of lightweight checks.
International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Information Bulletin No.276, 7th August 2017)
1. The purpose of this Bulletin is to provide guidance on the requirements for ships entering Arctic or Antarctic waters under the provisions of Chapter XIV of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended (SOLAS), titled “Safety Measures for Ships Operating in Polar Waters”, which was adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) by Resolution MSC.386 (94) on 21 November 2014.
2. Chapter XIV introduces the International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code), which was adopted by IMO under Resolutions MSC.385 (94) on 21 November 2014 and MEPC.264 (68) on 15 May 2015.
3. This Bulletin should be read in conjunction with the Polar Code and Circular MSC.1/Circ.1519 Guidance on methodologies for assessing operational capabilities and limitations in ice.
4. Classification requirements for ships assigned with Polar Class (Ice Class) have been published by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) and can be found in IACS Unified Requirement I.
5. This Bulletin applies to all ships registered in Barbados that intend to proceed to Polar Water areas.
6. Barbados Maritime recommends that owners and operators of Barbados registered ships that are likely to sail to Polar Waters allow ample time to prepare the ship for such voyages.
7. Polar Ship Certificates for ships registered in Barbados are to be issued by the Barbados Recognized Organization that classes the ship.
8. Where the operational assessment of a Category C ship indicates that no additional equipment nor structural modification is required to demonstrate compliance with the Polar Code for the intended voyage to Polar Waters, the Polar Ship Certificate can be issued administratively, based on document verification. In this case the validity of the Polar Ship Certificate shall be confirmed at next scheduled SOLAS-related survey. The document verification referenced in the above shall be completed by the Barbados Recognized Organization that classes the ship (for dual Class ships, the Recognized Organization that issues the statutory certificates);
9. Barbados Maritime acknowledges a multitude of existing ice-strengthened ships currently operating globally have been designed to other requirements, such as Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules or Russian Ice Categories. The categorisation of ship ice-strengthening measures within the Polar Code however refers to IACS Polar Class ice classes. The owners of any ship designed to such other requirements shall, in cooperation with the Classification Society, develop an approach to provide a clear cross reference of operational limitations at least equivalent to that outlined in MSC.1/Circ.1519. Guidance for determining equivalent ice class is included in Paragraph 4 of Part I-B of the Polar Code.
10. Barbados Maritime accepts other methods or approaches to drafting operational limitations for a ship intended to operate in ice, such as Canadian Arctic Ice.
11. The maximum expected rescue time shall be not less than 5 days. For operations in remote areas of the Arctic and Antarctica the expected rescue time may constitute a significant period due to scarce Search and Rescue (SAR) coverage. In exceptional cases Barbados Maritime may accept maximum rescue time of less than 5 days where a ship has been certificated to operate solely in areas where prompt SAR assistance is available.
12. Any requests for acceptance of shorter maximum rescue time shall be submitted by the Recognized Organization on behalf of the operator.
13. Barbados Maritime recognizes that obtaining a reliable 10 years’ observation temperature data set for certain localities within the Arctic and Antarctic may prove to be difficult. In such situations, Barbados Maritime may accept shorter temperature observation data sets that may be available through local authorities, operators stationed in these areas or recognized scientific institutions.
14. When a ship operating pattern is such as to require entry into Polar Waters at irregular intervals, during different seasons and in various locations the value of MDLT/PST shall cover all expected operational conditions likely to be encountered. Barbados Maritime recommends selection of the lowest expected MDLT/PST value that may be reasonably supported by the design and features of an individual ship.
15. The PWOM shall include procedures and arrangements for maintaining life support and integrity of an ice-strengthened ship in the event of prolonged entrapment by ice. Prolonged entrapment by ice shall be taken as a period of time longer than the time required for the ship to navigate at safe speed from the entrapment location to the nearest port or point where assistance can be rendered.
16. Pursuant to the conditions outlined in paragraph 12.3.2 of Part 1-A of the Polar Code, Barbados Maritime allows the use of navigational personnel other than the ship’s crew, i.e. so-called “Ice Pilots”.
17. Barbados Maritime approval and specific addendum to Certificate of Fitness are required for any new ship of Cat A and B fitted with cargo tanks of type 3 which is intended to carry in bulk NLS listed in ch.17 column e, as ship type 3, or identified as NLS in ch.18, of the IBC Code.
18. Further extensive changes to the format of the Garbage Record Book were adopted by IMO in November 2016 through MEPC.277 (70) and the new format is to be used from 1 March 2018. New Garbage Record Books meeting the new format will be made available by Barbados Maritime.
19. In the meantime, the existing Garbage Record Books issued by Barbados Maritime may continue to be used provided that the instructions in Barbados Information Bulletin no. 277 are followed.
20. Please refer to this Bulletin for more details.

Laid-up Vessel Requirements(Bulletin 051 Rev.1.0)
1. Application
All vessels that are to be laid-up temporarily and not in commercial operations for any reason.
2. General
2.1 The term Laid-up Vessel refers to a vessel that is temporarily idle due to lack of cargo or which are temporarily phased out of commercial operations.
2.2 Hot Laid-up: Vessel is idle but can be brought back into service at short notice. The machinery is kept in operation for the sake of fast re-commissioning, but measures may be taken to reduce various operational costs. Vessels should normally be laid-up without cargo. Adequate manning for the safe operation of the machinery should be kept.
Cold Laid-up: Vessel is taken out of service due to lack of employment and is moored or anchored at a safe place waiting for new employment. The machinery is taken out of service and the vessel is kept 'electrically dead' with the exception of emergency power. Minimum manning covering fire, leakage, moorings and security watches should be kept. Power will be kept to minimum level to ensure emergency equipment and operation of windlass and mooring winch are operational.
2.3 Without a notification of laid-up, vessel are implied to be trading normally and maintaining a full regime of certification, surveys and inspections including normal manning for such operations. Ship managers shall advise Flag Administration when a vessel is in laid-up. Failure to notify Flag Administration and CCS of the vessel entering laid-up and failure to maintain a safe laid-up, will be regarded as Major NC and might result in the vessel being deleted from the registry.
2.4 Ship managers are to advise the Flag Administration of the proposed length of the laid-up and state of readiness of the vessel to resume trade. The Company shall take appropriate advice on laid-up procedures as necessary including that of CCS, insurers and local authorities etc.
3. Statutory and Class Certification
Statutory certification is normally only required when vessels are trading while class is to be maintained at all times as a requirement for continuous registration. Depending upon the proposed length of the laid-up and taking into account any requirements of the port or coastal state of the laid-up location, ship's Manager shall consider whether to maintain or suspend the statutory and class certification. Any statutory and class certificates, for which the periodical survey/audit/inspection window has expired during laid-up, is to be considered invalid. Ship's Manager and/or CCS shall ask permission from Flag Administration for suspension or cancellation of statutory and class certificates.
4. Suspending and reinstating during laid-up
If any statutory and class certification are suspended, vessel is also suspended from the registry, and all flag certificates and permits issued by the Flag Administration will be automatically withdrawn and voided. And the vessel is prohibited from proceeding to sea.
When a vessel is suspended from the registry due to laid-up, Flag Administration will issue relevant suspension certificate and, for vessels which are required to hold a CSR, the Flag Administration will issue a CSR with laid-up status. At the end of the laid-up, Flag Administration will re-issue all flag certificates upon submission of all relevant documents and statutory certificates as applicable.
5. LRIT
Normal procedures for LRIT apply. If LRIT equipment is deactivated or switched off, Flag Administration is to be advised so that reporting can be suspended correctly.
6. MSMD
The MSMD does not apply to ships in laid-up. When a vessel is laid-up, normal manning may be reduced appropriate to the status and operational requirements of the vessel. Any reduction in manning should be considered in consultation with relevant port or coastal State authority.

压载水管理公约(Bulletin 032)
巴巴多斯旗海事主管机关就船舶满足压载水公约发布通告,明确了免除情况,处理系统失效报告及记录要求。
详见
BMSR24016_Barbados_20240502B032-Ballast-Water-Management-Rev.-1.0.pdf
美国海岸警卫队对压载水管理发布了最新的指导意见。请参阅海洋安全信息简报13-15(http://barbadosmaritime.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/013_15_10-22-2015.pdf),海岸警卫政策第1301号,修订版2(http://barbadosmaritime.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/USCG-BWM-Extension-CG-OES-Policy-Letter-No.-13-01-Rev-2.pd)和海洋安全信息简报010/16(http://barbadosmaritime.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/010_16_7-12-2016.pdf)。
国际极地水域营运船舶规则(Information Bulletin No.276, 7th August 2017)
1. 本公告的目的是根据2014年11月21日通过的IMO决议MSC.386(94)修订的SOLAS公约第XIV章“极地水域营运船舶的安全措施”的规定,对进入南极和北极水域的船舶需要满足的要求提供指南。
2. 第XIV章引入了2014年11月21日通过的MSC.385(94)决议和2015年5月15日通过的MEPC.264(68)决议,即国际极地水域营运船舶规则(极地规则)。
3. 本公告应该结合极地规则和MSC.1/Circ.1519冰区操作能力和限制评估方法导则一起阅读。
4. 授予极地级(冰级)的船舶的入级要求已经由国际船级社协会(IACS)出版,参见IACS统一要求URI。
5. 本公告适用于计划前往极地水域的所有巴巴多斯籍注册船舶。
6. 巴巴多斯海事主管机关建议可能前往极地水域航行的巴巴多斯注册船舶的船东和经营人给予足够的时间准备这样的航行。
7. 巴巴多斯注册船舶的极地船舶证书应由船舶入级的巴巴多斯认可组织签发。
8. 如果对C类船舶的操作评估表明,为满足极地规则要求不需要对计划前往极地水域航行的船舶加装设备或改造结构,极地船舶证书可在基于文件验证的基础上签发。在这种情况下,应在下次计划的SOLAS相关检验时确认极地船舶证书的有效性。上述文件验证应由船舶入级的巴巴多斯认可组织(对于双重船级船舶,为签发法定证书的认可组织)完成。
9. 巴巴多斯海事主管机关认识到目前大量在全球营运的现有冰区加强船舶是按照其他要求设计的,例如芬兰瑞典冰级规则或俄罗斯冰区分类要求。然而极地规则中船舶冰区加强措施的分类是按照IACS极地冰级进行的,任何按照这些其他要求设计的船舶的船东应与船级社合作,找到一种方法以便能提供至少等效于MSC./Circ.1519中列出的对操作限制的明确的相互参照。确定等效冰级的指南包含在极地规则I-B部分第4段。
10. 对计划在冰区营运船舶,巴巴多斯海事主管机关接受按其他方法制定的操作限制,例如加拿大北极冰域要求。
11. 最长预期待救时间应不少于5天。在北极和南极偏远区域营运,由于搜救覆盖不足,预期待救时间可以制定较长的一段时间。在例外情况下,如果船舶已被证明仅在能得到迅速搜救帮助的区域营运,巴巴多斯海事主管机关可以接受最长待救时间少于5天。
12. 任何接受较短最长待救时间的申请均应由认可组织代表经营人提交。
13. 巴巴多斯海事主管机关认识到在北极和南极某些地区获得可靠的10年观测温度数据集是困难的。在这种情况下,巴巴多斯海事主管机关可以接受通过地方当局、这些区域的驻地经营人或公认的科学机构获得的较短的温度观测数据集。
14. 当船舶的营运模式要求在不同季节和不同地点不定期地进入极地水域时,日均低温/极地服务温度(MDLT/PST)值应涵盖所有可能遇到的预期操作条件。巴巴多斯海事主管机关建议选择可由单独船舶的设计和特征合理支持的最低预期日均低温/极地服务温度(MDLT/PST)值。
15. 极地水域操作手册(PWOM)应包括船舶长时间被冰所困时保持生命和维持冰区加强船舶完整的程序和布置。长时间被冰所困应视为一段时间,这段时间应比船舶从受困位置到最近港口或能提供援助地点以安全速度航行所需时间长。
16. 根据极地规则第I-A部分第12.3.2段列出的条件,巴巴多斯海事主管机关允许使用船员以外的导航人员,即所谓的“冰区引航员”。
17. 对于A类和B类具有3型船舶液货舱,准备装运《国际散装运输危险化学品船舶构造和设备规则》第17章e栏列出的3型船舶NLS或第18章中确定的NLS的任何新船,应经巴巴多斯海事主管机关批准,且适装证书应有特定附录。
18. IMO在2016年11月通过MEPC.277(70)决议批准了对垃圾记录簿格式更多的修改,新格式将从2018年3月1日开始使用。满足新格式要求的垃圾记录簿可从巴巴多斯海事主管机关获取。
19. 与此同时,如果满足巴巴多斯No.277信息公告要求,现有的由巴巴多斯海事主管机关发布的垃圾记录簿则可以继续使用。
20. 更多详细内容请参见公告。

搁置船舶要求(Bulletin 051 Rev.1.0)
1. 适用范围
临时搁置且不以任何原因进行商业运营的所有船舶。
2. 通则
2.1 搁置船舶指因缺少货物临时闲置,或临时停止商业运营的船舶。
2.2 热车搁置:船舶闲置但一得到通知就可以重新投入营运。机械为了快速恢复营运的目的保持运转,但可采取必要的减少操作成本的措施。船舶通常应在无货状态下搁置。为了机械的安全运转应保持充足的配员。
冷车搁置:船舶因无雇佣停止营运并系泊或锚泊在安全位置以等待新的雇佣。机械停止运转,船舶保持在瘫船状态,除了应急电源。船舶应保持包括消防、泄露、系泊和保安值班的最低配员,并保持最低水平的电力以确保应急设备、锚机、缆车的操作。
2.3 如无搁置通知,船舶会被默认为正常营运,保持全部认证、检验和检查的正常状态包括正常配员。当船舶搁置时,船舶管理人应及时通知船旗国主管机关。船舶搁置时未能及时通知船旗国主管机关和CCS,或未能保持安全搁置,将会当作严重不合格,可能导致船舶被取消注册。
2.4 船舶管理人应将预计的搁置期限和恢复营运的所需时长通知船旗国主管机关。必要时,船舶管理公司应采取适当的搁置程序,包括CCS、保险商和当地主管机关的建议等。
3. 船级和法定
正常船舶营运时才要求法定证书,而作为持续注册要求船级需一直保持。取决于预计的搁置期限并考虑到搁置所处的港口国或沿岸国主管机关的任何要求,船舶管理人考虑是否保持或暂停船级和法定证书。搁置期内如船级和法定证书的定期检验、审核或检查过期,这些证书即失效。船舶管理人和/或CCS应寻求船旗国主管机关关于暂停或取消船级和法定证书的许可。
4. 搁置期间的暂停和恢复
如任何船级和法定证书暂停,船舶的注册亦暂停,并且所有船旗国主管机关签发的证书和许可也将自动取消、失效,此时船舶禁止航行。
当船舶因搁置而注册暂停时,船旗国主管机关将签发相关的暂停证书,对于要求持有连续概要记录的船舶,船旗国主管机关将签发搁置状态的连续概要记录。搁置结束时,船旗国主管机关将根据提交的相关文件和法定证书重新签发所有适用的船旗国证书。
5. LRIT
LRIT相关的常规程序继续适用。如LRIT设备失效或关闭,应通知船旗国主管机关以正确地暂停报告要求。
6. MSMD
最低安全配员证书不适用于搁置船舶。当船舶搁置时,考虑到船舶状态和操作要求,在考虑到相关港口国和沿岸国主管机关意见后,正常配员可适当减少。
