at its sixty-fifth session (13 to 17 May 2013), and the Maritime Safety
Committee, at its ninety-second session (12 to 21 June 2013), approved
the List of certificates and documents required to be carried on board

2 This work was carried out in accordance with
the provisions of section 2 of the annex to the FAL Convention concerning
formalities required of shipowners by public authorities on the arrival,
stay and departure of ships. It is reiterated that these provisions

for inspection by the appropriate authorities of certificates and
other documents carried by the ship pertaining to its registry, measurement,
safety, manning, classification and other related matters.
3 Due to amendments to relevant instruments since
the issuance of FAL.2/Circ.123-MEPC/Circ.769-MSC/Circ.1409, the list
has been revised to take account of the relevant provisions of the
aforementioned amendments.
4 This circular lists only the certificates and
documents that are required under IMO instruments and it does not
include certificates or documents required by other international
organizations or governmental authorities.
5 This circular should not be used in the context
of port State control inspections for which convention requirements
should be referred to.
6 Member Governments are invited to note the information
provided in the annex and take action as appropriate.
