Notwithstanding section 168, if a Cayman Islands ship, at the time when a certificate issued under this Part expires, is not in the port in which it is to be surveyed, the Chief Executive Officer may extend the period of validity of the certificate, but the extension shall be granted only for the purpose of allowing the ship to complete its voyage to the port in which it is to be surveyed, and then only in cases where it appears to the Chief Executive Officer proper and reasonable to do so.
A certificate shall not be extended for a period longer than three months and a ship to which the extension is granted shall not, on its arrival in the port in which it is to be surveyed, be entitled by virtue of the extension to leave that port without having obtained a new certificate.
The Chief Executive Officer may extend a certificate issued to a ship engaged on short voyages which has not been extended under subsection (1) for a period of up to one month from the date of expiry stated on the certificate.
The expiry date of a certificate issued under this Part may be only be determined in accordance with regulation 14(g) of Chapter I of the Safety Convention in special circumstances as determined by the Chief Executive Officer and set out in a Cayman Islands Shipping Notice.
In the case of a ship that has transferred from the registry of another country to the Cayman Islands, the Chief Executive Officer, subject to such survey requirements that may be considered to be necessary, may issue one or more of the certificates prescribed by this Part for a period to be determined by the Chief Executive Officer, but for not longer than the period of validity of the certificate or certificates issued by or on behalf of the government of that other country if satisfied that —
the ship has already been subjected to satisfactory initial, renewal, periodical, intermediate, annual and additional surveys, as appropriate;
the certificate issued by or on behalf of the government of that country would have remained valid had the registry of the ship not been changed;
the condition of the ship, including its structure, machinery and equipment, have been maintained so as to comply with the relevant regulations applicable to the ship; and
after any of the surveys referred to in subparagraph (a) have been complete, no material change has been made to the ship, including its structure, machinery and equipment, subject to such surveys, without the approval of the administration of that other country or the Chief Executive Officer except by direct replacement.
