Dear All,
This Newsletter aims to provide guidance on requests for extensions of statutory renewal and dry-dock surveys for vessels registered under the Liberian Flag. Vessel owners and operators of Liberian vessels are expected to plan surveys and dry-docking in advance to avoid the need for extensions.
Extensions will be considered only in exceptional circumstances, where due diligence is demonstrated and all reasonable efforts to complete surveys by their due dates have been made. Any extension granted will be limited to the minimum time required and shall not exceed one month.
Class society should be contacted about their requirements for the extension which more than its recommendation, shall provide
- Current survey status
- Three (3) authentic shipyard letters indicating non-availability of dry-docking space
- Confirmation of firm booking
- Any outstanding conditions
Subject to satisfactory review, the Liberian Administration may authorize the issuance of a short-term Safety Construction Certificate, while all other statutory surveys must be completed by their original due dates.
