1. PRE REGISTRATION SURVEY

Pre-Registration Surveys are mandatory for all vessels wanting to register their vessel under the South African Flag including vessels registered under a bareboat charter agreement. The purpose of this survey is to determine the suitability of the vessel to come onto the South African Register. The survey will be carried out by a SAMSA surveyor. If the vessel is not at a South African Port, then the costs of transport and subsistence for getting one of the SAMSA surveyors to the port where the vessel is, will be for the account of the shipowner/ charterer. In certain instances, SAMSA may exercise its discretion and delegate the responsibility of carrying out the pre-registration survey to one of the Recognised Organizations on behalf of SAMSA. In this case, copies of all survey reports/documentation and/or certificates issued by these Recognized Institutions on SAMSA’s behalf shall be forwarded to SAMSA for our records.

Copies of all SAMSA Marine Notices can be found on our website at www.samsa.org.za

The Application form for the endorsement of a foreign Certificate of Competency as well as the Procedure and documentation required is laid out in SAMSA Marine Notice 15 of 2015 (“Amendments to OPS 517 – Application for the Endorsement of a Foreign Certificate of Competency”). (Kindly take note that the reference to Supporting Documentation for “Deck Department” refers to Deck and Engineering Department for Merchant Vessels).

5. MANNING OF BAREBOAT CHARTERED/FULLY REGISTERED SHIPS

In respect of the registration of vessels in South Africa, whether bareboat chartered or fully registered, the South African Maritime Safety Authority encourages at least 50% of the ship officers to be South African. This, however, is currently not a compulsory requirement for the registration of these vessels.

In order to drive the South African training of cadets, we would strongly encourage the owners/ charterers of vessels that are coming onto our SA register to consider entering into training agreements with our South African cadets to be trained on board these vessels.

6. DECLARATION OF MARITIME LABOUR COMPLIANCE PART I

The DMLC Part I will be issued to the specific vessel by the SAMSA Principal Officer at the Home Port at which the vessel is to be registered. The contact details for all Principal Officers are listed on Page 3 of this document.

7. CONTINUOUS SYNOPSIS RECORD (CSR)

SAMSA issues the CSR document (Form 1) to the ship. Any amendments to the CSR document must be completed on Form 2 by the relevant Company and thereafter sent to the Administration together with the current CSR document. The administration will then issue a revised and updated form. When an amendment form is attached to the current CSR document, details of the amendment must also be entered in the Index of Amendments (Form 3) and attached to the current CSR document in date order.

8. TONNAGE AND LOAD LINE CERTIFICATION

Tonnage Certification for Bareboat Charter: For vessels registering under Bareboat Charter, a tonnage certificate in terms of the 1969 Tonnage Convention will be accepted by SAMSA. If the tonnage certificate is not issued in terms of the 1969 Convention, the vessel will have to be remeasured for bareboat charter registration purposes. Load Line Certification for Bareboat Charter *A ‘load line ship’ means any ship of 14 metres or more in length, which is not solely engaged in fishing and is not a pleasure yacht* For vessels registering under Bareboat Charter, a load Line Certificate issued by a Classification Society (duly authorised as one of the SAMSA Recognised Organizations) will be accepted by SAMSA.

Tonnage Certification for Vessel Registration: For vessels wanting full vessel registration in South Africa, a tonnage certificate in terms of the 1969 Tonnage Convention, with relevant tonnage computation, will be accepted by SAMSA. If the tonnage certificate is not issued in terms of the 1969 Convention, the vessel will have to be remeasured for vessel registration purposes.

Load Line Certification for Vessel Registration: *A ‘load line ship’ means any ship of 14 metres or more in length, which is not solely engaged in fishing and is not a pleasure yacht* For vessels wanting full vessel registration in South Africa, a load line certificate, with relevant computation, must be provided to SAMSA. If there is no computation for load line, then the vessel will have to be remeasured.

Kindly take note that notwithstanding the above, our SAMSA Naval Architects reserve the right to request a tonnage and/or load line computation for any applicable vessel irrespective of whether the vessel is bareboat chartered or fully registered on the South African Ship Registry.

9. CARVING AND MARKING NOTE

The Carving and Marking Note for the vessel registration (including tonnage) details on the ship will only be issued by SAMSA once all the documentation for Bareboat Charter registration/ship registration has been lodged with the Registrar of Ships. The Carving and Marking of the vessel must be inspected and signed off by a SAMSA/Class surveyor (as applicable) as soon as one becomes available. As an interim measure, the Registrar will accept photographic evidence clearly showing the correctly carved and marked ship. This applies to vessels laying in South African Ports which will be inspected by a SAMSA surveyor as well as vessels in foreign ports where a Class Surveyor has been duly authorised to inspect on SAMSA’s behalf. The Registrar will then open the ship register for the vessel and issue the Registration Certificate and the South African Foreign Tonnage Certificate accordingly.

Load Line Carving & Marking Note

If the load line is accepted by SAMSA or following remeasurement of the vessel (as may be required), SAMSA will then issue a Load Line Carving and Marking Note in respect of the load line which must be attended to by the owner/charterer accordingly. As a general guide, the load line marking will have the letters “S” and “A” above whilst the relevant classification society (example Class NK) will appear “N” “K” below. Once a SAMSA or class surveyor has signed off on such, a South African Load Line Certificate will be issued accordingly.

10. THE LIST OF RECOGNISED ORGANIZATIONS

The list of Classification Societies that SAMSA has entered into agreements with for such societies to be Recognised Organisations, are the following. This list is contained in SAMSA Marine Notice No. 12 of 2014.

. American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) . Bureau Veritas (BV) . DNVGL . Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) . Korean Register of Shipping (KRS) . Lloyds Register of Shipping (LR) . Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (Class NK) . Registro Italiano Navale (RINA) . Russian Register of Shipping (RS).

Note: Copies of all survey reports, documents and/or certificates issued by any of the Recognised Organizations on behalf of the South African Maritime Safety Authority must be forwarded to SAMSA for our records.

11. HOME PORTS OF SOUTH AFRICA – INFORMATION & SERVICES

There are seven South African Home Ports at which vessels can be registered. They are: Cape Town, Saldanha, Mossel Bay, Port Elizabeth, East London, Durban & Richards Bay. Annexure 19 contains more information about each of these home ports. The information as contained in the Annexure relating to these home ports of South Africa was compiled by the Transnet National Ports Authority and can be found on their website at http://www.transnetnationalportsauthority.net/ This information is included as a guideline and for informational purposes only. The accuracy of this information has not been validated by SAMSA and therefore prior to any reliance on this information, we highly recommend contacting TNPA for validation and confirmation of anything contained therein.

12. FEE STRUCTURE

Kindly take note that the fee structure will differ for each vessel and will therefore be calculated on a case by case basis. The fees will depend on the Gross Tonnage, the Registered Length as well as the Recognized Organization appointed to undertake the surveys for the particular vessel.

13. DOCUMENTS THAT SAMSA WILL PROVIDE UPON BAREBOAT CHARTER/ FULL REGISTRATION

(B) Sanctions in the Case of Non-compliance

(1) The Company shall be entitled, at any time or times, and with immediate effect, unilaterally to modify, restrict, suspend or terminate, temporarily or permanently, the authorization by notification to the MES Owner and the MES Operator, if the Company deems the MES or the MES Owner or the MES Operator to not so comply, or to practise a utilization not so authorized, no matter what the cause or causes of such non-compliance or practice.

(2)The Company shall also send a copy of the notification to the PSA.

(3) Unless the authorization has been terminated, the Company shall lift such modification, restriction or suspension, if it is demonstrated to the Company's satisfaction that compliance has been resumed and will be maintained, or that such unauthorized practice has been and will be discontinued by the MES Owner or MES Operator.

(1) The authorization shall be deemed to be suspended during any period in which persistent malfunction or any operation of the MES that degrades the performance of the Inmarsat space segment occurs.

LOCATION: Latitude 28˚ 48’S, Longitude 32˚ 02’E

The Port of Richards Bay is located approximately 160 km North-East of Durban and 465 km South of Maputo on the eastern seaboard of South Africa.

The Port is one of South Africa’s eight operational commercial ports under the auspices of the Authority with great potential to play a key role in the shaping of South Africa’s future growth and prosperity. Established only in 1976 primarily for the export of 26 million tonnes of coal over the first ten years, the Port is one of the newest ports within the Authority’s stable. However, it has become of age within a relatively short period; with the establishment of one new berth every second year on average.

The combination of specialized cargo handling facilities, fast vessel turnaround, deep water infrastructure, excellent rail links to the hinterland and the large greenfield development potential, has made the Port one world’s leading bulk ports, handling in excess of 80 million tonnes annually,representing approximately 60% of South Africa’s seaborne cargo.

The opening of the Port transformed a small fishing village into a dynamic industrial Port.
