The Chief Executive Officer may, at the request of a government of a country to which the Safety Convention applies, survey a ship registered in that country and, if satisfied that the requirements of that Convention are complied with and that a survey has been satisfactorily completed under this Part, issue to the ship one or more of the certificates referred to in this Part.
Where the Chief Executive Officer considers it appropriate, the Chief Executive Officer shall endorse the certificates specified in subsection (1) under the requirements of the Convention; and a certificate issued in accordance with such request shall contain a statement that it has been so issued and have the same effect as if it was issued by that government and not by the Chief Executive Officer.
A surveyor may go on board a ship to which the Safety Convention applies for the purpose of verifying that —
there is in force a certificate or certificates required by this Part;
the hull, machinery and equipment correspond substantially with the particulars shown on the certificate or certificates; and
the provisions of section 164 are being complied with.
