National Safety Requirements for Miscellaneous and Non-SOLAS Vessels(INS-003 Rev.11/24)

For details, refer to LISCR24154_Liberia_20241203ins-003.pdf.

In 2010 the Liberian Administration implemented a Scheme for Extending Dry Dock Intervals (i.e. EDD
program). Under the scheme ships enrolled in the EDD program were allowed to be dry‐docked at seven
and a half year intervals provided two consecutive alternate in water surveys (IWS) are satisfactorily
conducted during the intervening period.
Ships could apply for enrolled in the EDD program at the latest by the ship’s 10 year
dry‐docking survey. Subject to the ship satisfactorily passing all IWS and out of water surveys when
due, a ship could remain the EDD program until the ship reaches 15 years of age. The program could
possibly be extended until a ship reaches 20 years of age, subject to satisfactory service experience. Flag
Administration and Classification Society approval is will be required in
each case.
This technical letter provides guidance on the continuation of vessel in the EDD program:
1. after expiration of a vessel’s initial EDD enrollment
2. after a vessel reached 15 years of age
3. after a change of owners or management company
4. after registration of a vessel under the Liberian flag that was enrolled in the EDD program of its
previous flag state
1. Continuation in the EDD program after expiration of a vessel initial EDD enrollment.
In order to continue in the EDD program after the end of the initial 7.5 year drydock interval a vessel
must be evaluated by the Administration for re-enrollment in the EDD program. The vessel owners will
be required to:
a. complete and submit the Liberian Administration Extended Dry Dock Questionnaire to
Administration for review.
b. provide, or have the vessel’s class society provide on behalf of the owners, a recommendation
from the class society that the ship be re-enrolled in the EDD program and a copy of the ship’s
survey status report including any outstanding CoCs, memos, deficiencies and, recommendations.
In addition, if not available via from the class society website, the Administration will request that the
vessel’s class society provide for review:
a. Last class and statutory renewal reports. Two reports of renewal surveys will be reviewed if last
renewal was less than one year old (i.e. if last renewals was in 2020, then the 2015 renewal
reports are also reviewed).
b. Last intermediate and last two annual class and statutory survey reports.

Safety Construction Intermediate and Renewal Survey Windows（Marine Advisory: 07/2023）

The purpose of this Marine Advisory is to bring to your attention and provide guidance on the Safety Construction Intermediate and Renewal Survey Windows.  SOLAS amendments to Chapter XI-1 added the following new regulation:

 

Regulation 2-1 - Harmonization of Survey Periods of Cargo Ships Not Subject to the ESP Code 

 

For cargo ships not subject to enhanced surveys under regulation XI-1/2, notwithstanding any other provisions, the intermediate and renewal surveys included in regulation I/10 may be carried out and completed over the corresponding periods as specified in the 2011 ESP Code, as may be amended, and the guidelines developed by the Organization, as appropriate.

 

This regulation allows for Safety Construction Intermediate Survey to be carried out and completed anytime within the second or third annual survey or between these surveys, effectively providing an 18 month window to complete this survey.

 

The regulation also allows for Safety Construction Renewal Survey to be commenced at the fourth annual survey and progressed during the succeeding year with a view to completion by the fifth anniversary date, effectively providing a 15 month window to complete this survey.

 

And as a survey of the ship’s bottom is part of the Intermediate and Renewal Surveys, the bottom survey (in-water or in dry-dock) can be carried out anytime within these windows. It only needs to be ensured that there are a minimum of two bottom surveys during the five-year period of the Safety Construction certificate, and in all cases, that the maximum interval between bottom surveys is not to exceed 36 months.

 

The use of these windows to carry out the necessary surveys, including a ship’s bottom survey, should eliminate the need for any extension of these surveys, and eliminate the possibility of a vessel be detained by a port state. The Recognized Organization should be contacted for proper planning and endorsement of the certificate.

 

In the very rare case where an extension may be needed, please refer to Reference (a) for guidance is applying for one.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Regulations and Standards Department at RegsAndStandards@liscr.com.

Guidance on interim compliance with MARPOL Annex VI EEXI Requirements（Marine Advisory 16 2023）

The purpose of this Advisory is to provide guidance on the interim compliance with MARPOL Annex VI EEXI requirements. Verification that a vessel’s attained EEXI is in accordance with Chapter 4 (Energy Efficiency) of the 2021 Revised MARPOL Annex VI shall take place at the first annual, intermediate or renewal survey related to the IAPP certificate, whichever is the first, on or after 1 January 2023.

In case requests for extension of the compliance with these requirements due to delays in procuring and installing required Shaft/Engine Power Limitation systems, it is required that an Interim OMM be provided to the vessel’s class society for their verification (if the class society is unable to verify it due to time restraints, then it may be submitted to the Administration for review and verification at planapproval@liscr.com). 

Upon receipt of the verified Interim OMM (or after verifying the interim OMM itself), the Administration will issue a letter authorizing the use of the Interim OMM for the time necessary to install the SHaPoLi/EPL system and authorize the issuance of a short term IEEC for the same period along with the reissuance of the record of construction related to the IEEC duly completed in the revised format prescribed in Appendix VIII of the 2021 Revised MARPOL Annex VI. 

The Interim OMM is to describe how the energy efficiency requirements will be managed by manual control until the SHaPoLi/EPL system is installed by providing technical and operational conditions so that the power limitation method satisfies the compliance with the EEXI requirements. 

The Interim OMM should also include procedures for use of reserve power, including recording and notification of same without delay to the Administration at regsandstandards@liscr.com and competent authority at the relevant port of destination, using the standardized format in the Annex to this Marine Advisory. Consideration should be given to implementing the measures in the verified SEEMP with respect to the required CII during this period. 

The short term IEEC should be issued with an annotation that the Administration has permitted the implementation measures for temporary compliance with the EEXI requirements in the interim OMM, pending installation of the SHaPoLi/EPL system. It should be noted that the IAPP survey should be completed and the IAPP certificate endorsed or renewed after completion of the survey.

IMDG

IMDG Code and Medical Oxygen Carriage Requirements (TEC-005)

 

The Liberian Administration's policy for compliance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code requirements, including the policy on the carriage of medical oxygen cylinders.

 

The following requirements apply to all vessels carrying as cargo dangerous good as defined in regulation 1 of Chapter VII of SOLAS 74, as amended, and to all ships, irrespective of type and size, carrying substances, material or articles identified in the IMDG Code as marine pollutants. It also applies to chemical and gas carriers, but it does not apply to crude oil tankers or to ship’s stores and equipment.

1、General Regulations

SOLAS 74 Chapter VII as amended, prescribes the general regulations for the carriage of dangerous goods in packaged form or in solid form in bulk.  MARPOL ANNEX III applies to all ships carrying harmful substances identified as marine pollutants in packaged form by the IMDG Code.  All dangerous goods and marine pollutants carried on Liberian flagged ships shall be carried and shipped in accordance with the IMDG Code, as amended.

2.0 Compliance

2.1. All Liberian ships carrying dangerous goods in package form or in solid bulk form or substances identified as a marine pollutant must have on board the latest copy of the IMDG Code (Volume 1 and Volume 2), as amended.

2.2 All Liberian ships carrying as cargo dangerous goods in package form or in solid bulk form or substances identified as a marine pollutant must have on board this Supplement to the IMDG Code. IMO has published a separate Supplement to the IMDG Code containing Emergency Response Procedures, a Medical First Aid Guide (MFAG), Reporting Procedures, Guidelines for Packing Cargo Transport Units, Recommendations for the Safe Use of Pesticides, and the International Code for the Safe Carriage of Packaged Irradiated Nuclear Fuel, Plutonium and High-Level Radioactive Wastes on board Ships (INF Code).

3. Medical Oxygen

The cargo details found in Volume 1 of the IMDG Code lists the medical hazards for each specific cargo listed in the Code. For certain cargoes the IMDG Code requires the carriage of oxygen resuscitation equipment as specified in the MFAG. In general, nearly all of the cargoes listed in the IMDG Code required medical oxygen.

3.1 The MFAG (Medical First Aid Guide) requires the carriage of a minimum of 44liters/200bar of oxygen as follows:

3.1.1 One (1) 40 liter/200 bars medical oxygen cylinder located in the ship’s hospital, assembled for direct use, equipped with one (1) flowmeter unit (two ports) for supplying oxygen for two ?(2) persons simultaneously, and

3.1.2 One (1) complete portable set, ready for use, with a 2 liter/200 bars medical oxygen cylinder and a spare cylinder (also 2 liter/200 bars). Due to restrictions at some ports, where the maximum re-charging pressure of cylinders is 150 bars, the Administration may accept additional spare cylinders, provided at least eight hundred (800) litres of oxygen is available for use with the portable set at the required flow-rate.

3.1.3 Two 20 liter/200 bar medical oxygen cylinders may be used to comply with the 40 liter/200 bar requirement, if the system is arranged so as to be able to supply oxygen to two persons

3.1.4 Four 10 liter/200 bar medical oxygen cylinders may be used to comply with the 40 liter/200 bar requirements if the system is arranged so as to be able to supply oxygen to at least two persons simultaneously.

3.2 The medical oxygen can be located either inside or outside of the hospital. If located inside the space you must insure the space is properly ventilated in case of escape of the oxygen from the cylinder and that the cylinders are located so that they cannot be easily damaged or disturbed. If located outside of the compartment the cylinders must be in a protected location and not exposed to excessive heat, flames, or a corrosive atmosphere and located so that they cannot be easily damaged or disturbed. Located of the medical oxygen must be acceptable to the vessel’s classification society.

3.3. The medical oxygen cylinders and resuscitation equipment should be inspected and serviced annually, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Servicing should be carried out by trained competent personnel  (e.g., a vessel’s licensed deck officers (e.g., 2nd Mate or Chief Mate) who has completed “Medical Care on board” training) and acceptable to the vessel’s classification society.

3.4. The contents of the cylinders are to be checked and changed as required according to manufacturer’s requirements or every 3 years in the absence of manufacturer’s instructions. The cylinders should be hydrostatically tested every 5 years unless a different interval is specified by the manufacturer.

Inquiry concerning BWM Convention (Liberia Administration Email)

1. CCS may carry out the survey and issue IBWMC on behalf of Liberia in accordance with BWM.1/Circ.40. Survey date shall be the actual survey date and expiry date may be 5 years or less from 8 September 2017. The certificate shall be annotated to state validity commences from 8 September2017.

2. The Liberia Administration notes there is no requirement in MARPOL or HSSC that prohibits a shipowner from completing an IOPP renewal survey early or to de‐harmonize the IOPP certificate from other statutory certificates.

The Administration encourages owners to maintain the harmonization of all statutory certification in accordance with HSSC, however recognizes that there may be circumstances where the owner determines de‐harmonization is necessary and decides on this course of action. In such cases, the owner should inform the Administration and the vessels Classification Society that issued the affected HSSC certificates. If the IOPP Certificate is de‐harmonized, the owner should ensure action is taken for its future harmonization with all statutory certificates under HSSC at the earliest practical opportunity.

Entry-into-force of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004 (BWM Convention) ( Marine Advisory: 14/2016) Marine Advisory 14-2016.pdf

 

1. From 8 September 2017, ships to which the BWM Convention applies are required to carry on board an approved ballast water management plan, ballast water record book and conduct ballast water management in accordance with regulation B-3, as amended. Ships to which the BWM Convention applies, excluding floating platforms, FSUs and FPSOs, are also required to be surveyed and issued a certificate.

2. The compliance dates for ships are linked to the date the ships IOPP certificate is renewed after 8 September 2017. In order to allow more time for new systems to become available and for ship owners to decide on which system to invest and install, Liberia has agreed shipowners may decide if they wish to renew a ships IOPP certificate earlier than scheduled in order to have an additional 4 to 5 years to see if new equipment becomes available.

3. In accordance with BWM.2/Circ.40, reference (c), the Administration has provided instructions to the Classification Societies on issuance of the IBWMC prior to entry into force of the BWM Convention along with annotation of the Certificate to state that validity begins from the entry-into-force date, combined with a Statement issued to the Company by the Administration or the Classification Society when the BWM Plan was received thereby allowing the vessel to trade for three months with an unapproved BWM Plan on board.

Upon installation of BWMS, the Classification Society is also authorized to carry out the installation survey, and approve the operations and technical manual for the BWMS specific to the ship.

非公约船舶等其他船舶的国内安全检查要求(INS-003 Rev.11/24)

具体要求，参见LISCR24154_Liberia_20241203ins-003.pdf。

In 2010 the Liberian Administration implemented a Scheme for Extending Dry Dock Intervals (i.e. EDD
program). Under the scheme ships enrolled in the EDD program were allowed to be dry‐docked at seven
and a half year intervals provided two consecutive alternate in water surveys (IWS) are satisfactorily
conducted during the intervening period.
Ships could apply for enrolled in the EDD program at the latest by the ship’s 10 year
dry‐docking survey. Subject to the ship satisfactorily passing all IWS and out of water surveys when
due, a ship could remain the EDD program until the ship reaches 15 years of age. The program could
possibly be extended until a ship reaches 20 years of age, subject to satisfactory service experience. Flag
Administration and Classification Society approval is will be required in
each case.
This technical letter provides guidance on the continuation of vessel in the EDD program:
1. after expiration of a vessel’s initial EDD enrollment
2. after a vessel reached 15 years of age
3. after a change of owners or management company
4. after registration of a vessel under the Liberian flag that was enrolled in the EDD program of its
previous flag state
1. Continuation in the EDD program after expiration of a vessel initial EDD enrollment.
In order to continue in the EDD program after the end of the initial 7.5 year drydock interval a vessel
must be evaluated by the Administration for re-enrollment in the EDD program. The vessel owners will
be required to:
a. complete and submit the Liberian Administration Extended Dry Dock Questionnaire to
Administration for review.
b. provide, or have the vessel’s class society provide on behalf of the owners, a recommendation
from the class society that the ship be re-enrolled in the EDD program and a copy of the ship’s
survey status report including any outstanding CoCs, memos, deficiencies and, recommendations.
In addition, if not available via from the class society website, the Administration will request that the
vessel’s class society provide for review:
a. Last class and statutory renewal reports. Two reports of renewal surveys will be reviewed if last
renewal was less than one year old (i.e. if last renewals was in 2020, then the 2015 renewal
reports are also reviewed).
b. Last intermediate and last two annual class and statutory survey reports.

IMDG Code 和医用氧气携带要求 (TEC-005)

 

利比里亚主管机关关于IMDG code和医用氧气瓶携带的要求

 以下要求适用于装运经修订的SOLAS公约第VII章第1条所定义的危险货物的所有船舶，以及装运IMDG规则所规定的作为海洋污染物的物质、材料或物品的所有船舶（不计其船型与大小）。不适用于船舶的物料和设备。同时适用于化学品运输船和气体运输船，不适用原油运输船。

1、一般要求

SOLAS 74公约机器修正案第VII章给出了对于以包装形式或固体散装形式装运危险货物的一般要求。MARPOL公约附则III适用于装运IMDG所规定的包装形式海洋污染物的有害物质的所有船舶。利比里亚旗船舶装运危险货物和海洋污染物均应符合经修订的IMDG规则的要求。

2.0为满足这些要求应：

2.1 以包装形式或固体散装形式装运危险货物，或装运海洋污染物的所有利比里亚旗船舶必须携带经修正的IMDG规则的最新文本（第1册和第2册，Volume 1 and Volume 2）。

2.2以包装形式或固体散装形式装运危险货物，或装运海洋污染物的所有利比里亚旗船舶必须携带经修正的IMDG规则的补充本（Supplement）。IMO出版的IMDG规则的补充本录包括了应急响应程序、医疗急救指南（MFAG）、报告程序、包装货物运输单元指南、安全使用杀虫剂的建议案和INF规则。

3 医用氧气

IMDG规则第1册中的货物详情给出了各种货物的医疗风险。对于某些货物IMDG规则要求按照MFAG要求携带氧气复苏设备。总的来说，近乎所有IMDG规则所列出的货物都要求医用氧气。

3.1 医疗急救指南(MFAG：Medical First Aid Guide)要求携带有至少44L/200bar的氧气，要求如下：

 3.1.1 一个40L/200bar的医用氧气瓶，位于船舶医务室，可直接使用，设有一个流量计（两个接口），可同时为两个人供氧，和

 3.1.2 一套完整的便携式设备，随时可用，带有1个2L/200bar的医用氧气瓶和1个同样2L/200bar的备用气瓶；由于某些港口的限制，在某些港口再重装的压力最大为150bar，主管机关可以接受额外配备备用气瓶，条件是至少有800L氧气以所需的流量供便携式气瓶使用。

 3.1.3 如果系统设置为可同时为两个人供氧，可以使用两个20L/200bar的医用氧气瓶来满足对于40L/200bar氧气瓶的要求。

 3.1.4如果系统设置为可同时为至少两个人供氧，可以使用四个10L/200bar的医用氧气瓶来满足对于40L/200bar氧气瓶的要求。

3.2 医用氧气瓶可设置在船上医务室里面或外面。如果位于医务室内，应确保医务室适当通风以防氧气自瓶体逸出，气瓶存放位置应使气瓶不易遭到损坏或破坏。如果位于医务室外，气瓶应位于受保护的位置，不暴露于过热、火焰或腐蚀性空气中，且不易遭到损坏或破坏。氧气瓶的设置存放位置必须使船级社可以接受。

3.3 医用氧气瓶和复苏设备应按照制造商的说明进行年度检修。检修应由经过培训的适任人员（如经过船上医疗救护培训的大副或二副）进行，并应使船级社接受。

3.4 钢瓶内气体应按制造商要求进行检查和换新，或者在没有制造商说明的情况下，每3年进行检查和更换。钢瓶每5年应进行水压试验，除非制造商规定了不同的间隔期。

有关压载水公约咨询的回复（主管机关邮件）

1. CCS可以以主管机关名义进行检验和签发国际压载水管理证书。检验日期应为实际检验日期，有效期应从2017年9月8日起不超过5年。应注明该证书从2017年9月8日起有效。

2. 利比里亚主管机关注意到MARPOL公约或HSSC导则没有规定来禁止船东提前进行IOPP换证检验和使IOPP证书与其他法定证书不协调。

主管机关鼓励船东保持所有法定证书的协调，但是也意识到可能有船东认为不协调是必要的并由此行动的情况。这种情况下，船东应告知主管机关和签发相应证书的RO。如果IOPP证书不协调，船东应确保采取措施在最早时机将所有法定证书按HSSC导则进行协调。

压载水公约的生效（MA:14/2016）Marine Advisory 14-2016.pdf

 

1、2017年9月8日起，适用压载水公约的船舶需要持有经批准的压载水管理计划、压载水记录簿和根据经修订的B-3条进行压载水管理。适用公约的船舶，除了浮式平台、FSUs和FPSOs,也需要接受检验和签发证书。

2、2017年9月8日之后的首次IOPP换证检验时，船舶需要满足D-2标准（即安装BWMS）。为了有更多时间使新系统变得可选和使船东决定和安装哪种系统，主管机关已经同意，船东可决定他们是否愿意提前进行IOPP换证检验，以额外的获得4到5年的时间来看看是否可获得新系统。

3、根据BWM.2/Circ.40，主管机关已向船级社提供了有关提前签发国际压载水管理证书的说明，应注明证书从2017年9月8日起生效，连同主管机关或船级社签发给船公司的声明一起，当已收到BWMP，自收到之日起的3个月内允许该船舶携带未经批准的BWMP营运。

有关BWMS的安装，主管机关授权船级社为具体的船舶进行安装检验、批准操作和技术手册。
