Certificates
The international Conventions and Codes result in worldwide
recognised certificates which ships have to carry.
Before a certificate can be issued, a ship has to be registered in a
certain country, i.e. Flag State.
After being surveyed to ensure that the ships meet the
requirements, the certificates will then be issued by an RO on
behalf of a Flag State.
