Control
Ships holding a certificate issued under these regulations are
subject, when in the ports of other Contracting Governments, to
control by officers duly authorized by such Governments.
These Governments shall ensure that such control is exercised as
far as is reasonable and practicable with a view to verifying that
there is on board a valid certificate. If there is a valid certificate of
board the ship, such control shall be limited to the purpose of
determining that
the ship is not loaded beyond the limits allowed by the
certificate
the position of the load line of the ship corresponds with the
certificate
the ship has not been materially altered in respect of the
matters set out in the Regulations
If such control is exercised, it shall only be exercised in so far as
may be necessary to ensure that the ship shall not sail until it can
proceed to sea without danger to the passengers or the crew.
In the event of the control provided for in the Regulations giving
rise to intervention of any kind, the officer carrying out the control
shall immediately inform in writing the Consul of the State whose
flag the ship is flying of his decision and of all the circumstances
in which intervention was deemed necessary (Art 21)
