No. 6 - Transfer of ships to Netherlands' registry

  1. Introduction
    Article 2.4.2 of annex 1 to the agreement regulates the recognition of statutory international (IMO) certificates in case of transfer of ships to Netherlands' registry.

    In broad terms: statutory full term certificates issued in compliance with the international conventions (as ratified by the Netherlands) are recognized. It is the RO's duty to ascertain that the condition of the ship, its equipment and procedures (ISM and security) are in compliance with the specifications of these certificates and whether issued exemptions are in accordance with the Netherlands' applicable instruments.


    This document contains instructions for RO's with regard to:

    • ships that do not carry full term certificates

    • specific Netherlands' requirements

    • procedure to be followed

  2. Ships that do not carry full-term certificates
    In case no full-term certificates are available (the ship is operating under short-term / interim certificates) the RO shall investigate the reasons why the losing flagstate has not (yet) issued long-term certificates. Based on the results of this investigation the RO will propose a course of action to NSI.


    Possible actions could be (not exhaustive):

    • issue long term certificate on behalf of the Netherlands' administration

    • additional survey

    • issue short-term certificate under conditions

    • granting an exemption

    • refuse Netherlands' registry of the ship

    • etc, etc

  3. Specific Netherlands' requirements
    Based on the regulatory framework as published by the NSI, the RO will determine any specific Netherlands requirements that are applicable to the ship in question.


    The RO assesses whether the ship is in compliance with these requirements.


    If the ship is not in compliance the RO will propose a course of action to the NSI.

  4. Procedure to be followed
    Together with the application to the RO for the necessary surveys, the owner can start the procedure for registration of the ship in the Netherlands and apply to the Transport and Water Management Inspectorate for the certificates that are to be issued by the administration.


    If, in the opinion of the RO, the ship fulfils all international and national requirements, the RO will inform the owner and the Transport and Water Management Inspectorate.


    In mutual arrangement the RO and the Inspectorate will issue the applicable certificates and complete the registration.


    If the ship does not fully comply to international or national requirements, the NSI will decide, on the proposal of the RO, on the course of action to be followed.


    Some of the considerations might be:

    • The results of the inspections carried out by RO and the standards that were used.

    • The results of the inspections carried out by the losing flagstate and the standards that were used.

    • The character and the severity of the shortcomings and the practical possibility to mend these within a reasonable timeframe.

    • Earlier experiences with and the reputation of the losing flagstate and the shipowner.
