Ships covered

WHICH SHIPS ARE COVERED BY THE CONVENTION?
The Convention applies to all Faroese ships and all seafarers on board. However, the ships are divided into two groups:
  • Ships that must be subject to inspections and be issued with a certificate.
  • Ships that are only to be subject to inspections.

Ships that must be issued with a certificate are to be certified before 20 August 2013:

  • Cargo and passenger ships with a gross tonnage of or above 500 engaged in international trade.

Other ships that are merely to be inspected, but can be voluntarily certified. This applies to:

  • Cargo and passenger ships with a gross tonnage of or above 500 exclusively engaged in domestic trade.
  • Cargo and passenger ships with a gross tonnage below 500.

Ships that are not to be certified must be inspected at intervals of a maximum of three years and the first time in connection with the first existing survey.
