When is the Certificate Of Fitness for the Carriage of Liquefied Gases in Bulk issued?

The Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage of Liquefied Gases in Bulk is issued after an initial survey has been conducted. This initial survey is a crucial step to ensure that the vessel meets all the necessary safety and design standards required for the transport of liquefied gases. During this survey, various aspects of the vessel are evaluated, including its structure, equipment, and systems relevant to the safe carriage of these hazardous materials.

Issuing the certificate at this stage allows for a thorough assessment and verification that the vessel is compliant with the applicable regulations and standards before it begins operations. The initial survey serves as a decisive point that establishes the vessel's readiness to operate safely under the conditions specified for the handling of liquefied gases.
