Haeun Association: "Certificate Issuance Shortened, Enables Rapid Deployment of Ships"
Replacement of Ship Inspection Certificate with Basic Ship Information Confirmation
"Expected Reduction from 5 Days to 2 Days"
Korean Register's ship inspection certificate can now be replaced with the ‘Ship Basic Information Confirmation Certificate.’ It is expected that the issuance period for various inspection certificates, from the ship nationality certificate issuance procedure to the point when the ship can actually operate, will be shortened from the existing 5 days to within 2 days.
The Korea Shipping Association recently proposed to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to shorten the period for introducing foreign ships as Korean-flagged vessels. In the procedure of introducing foreign-flagged ships as Korean-flagged ships, there was an administrative constraint where if the issuance of any one of the related certificates was delayed, the issuance of other certificates was also delayed.
The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries actively cooperated in shortening the ship introduction procedure period by deriving improvement measures such as adding related content to make the Ship Basic Information Confirmation Certificate equivalent to the ship inspection certificate, computerized management, and strengthening reliability including department head confirmation requirements.
After this improvement, when introducing a ship, the ship inspection certificate can be replaced with the ‘Ship Basic Information Confirmation Certificate’ in the registration (or change registration) of safety management agency and in the attached documents for the crew certificate application. Also, when applying for or changing the registration of a maritime cargo transport business, a copy of the ship nationality certificate (or temporary ship nationality certificate) and the ship inspection certificate must be submitted before the first voyage.
