267ZG  International Sewage Pollution Prevention Certificates (1973) for Australian ships
 (1) Where, on receipt of declarations of survey in respect of an Australian ship, the Minister is satisfied that the ship is constructed in accordance with the provisions of Annex IV, the Minister may, whether or not the ship is required by Annex IV to be constructed in accordance with those provisions, issue in respect of the ship an International Sewage Pollution Prevention Certificate (1973) in the prescribed form attesting such compliance.
 (2) Where an Australian ship in respect of which a sewage certificate has been issued is not in a port, or at an off‑shore terminal, in Australia at the time when the certificate expires, the Minister may, if he or she considers it appropriate and reasonable to extend the certificate for the purpose of allowing the ship to complete its voyage to the place where it is to be surveyed again for the purpose of subsection (1), extend the certificate for a period not exceeding 5 months but, when the ship reaches that place, the certificate shall, for the purposes of section 267ZM, be taken to have ceased to be in force.
