The master should send a written request to MCA, Southampton stating: the ship’s identity; the certificates concerned; when/where the renewal survey was due to be held; the reason why the survey must be delayed; when/where the survey can now be held; and his personal confirmation that the items covered by the surveys due are in good order.
A ship is delayed on a voyage to a survey port where her harmonised certificates are due to be renewed. How should a request be made for an extension of the validity of the certificates?
