제18425호                                관              보                  2015. 1. 8.(목요일)
provided to all authorized officers and should be available to the public and shipowners and
seafarers.
2. When developing a policy relating to the circumstances warranting a detention of the ship
under Standard A5.2.1, paragraph 6, of the competent authority should consider that, with respect
to the breaches referred to in Standard A5.2.1, paragraph 6(b), the seriousness could be due to
the nature of the deficiency concerned. This would be particularly relevant in the case of the
violation of fundamental rights and principles or seafarers’ employment and social rights under
Articles III and IV. For example, the employment of a person who is under age should be
considered as a serious breach even if there is only one such person on board. In other cases,
the number of different defects found during a particular inspection should be taken into account:
for example, several instances of defects relating to accommodation or food and catering which
do not threaten safety or health might be needed before they should be considered as constituting
a serious breach.
3. Members should cooperate with each other to the maximum extent possible in the
adoption of internationally agreed guidelines on inspection policies, especially those relating to the
circumstances warranting the detention of a ship.

2. Where appropriate, given the nature of the complaint, the initial investigation shall include

been explored. The authorized officer may also conduct a more detailed inspection in accordance
with Standard A5.2.1.
3. The authorized officer shall, where appropriate, seek to promote a resolution of the
