Libaria flag release revision 1 of Marine Advisory regarding the Extension of Statutory Renewal Surveys and Dry-dock Survey.

The purpose of this Marine Advisory is to provide guidance to ensure that any request for this Administration to grant authorization for an extension of statutory renewal and dry-dock surveys is made on a sound basis in the International Conventions and to minimize the concern of any Port State with that authorization.

In all cases, sufficient planning for a vessel’s due renewal surveys and dry-docking is to be done in a timely manner so that in most cases, no extension of these surveys will be needed, and they can be completed by their due date.

If, after due diligence has been demonstrated that all attempts to complete surveys by their due dates have been made, but due to exceptional circumstances they cannot, this Administration will consider extending the surveys. The extension period will be for the minimum time necessary to complete the surveys and will not exceed one (1) month.
