Extension and other provisionsU.K.
This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum
17.—(1) Where a Convention Certificate other than a Passenger Ship Safety Certificate [F1or HSC Code Safety Certificate for Offshore Service Craft] has been issued for a period of validity of less than five years and the surveys required under regulations 6(1) and 7 to 9 have been satisfactorily completed, the Certifying Authority may extend the validity of that Certificate so that the certificate is valid for a maximum period of five years.
(2) Where a renewal survey required under regulations 6(1) and 7 to 9 [F2to 9A] has been satisfactorily completed before the expiry of the relevant Convention Certificate [F3or an HSC Code Safety Certificate for Offshore Service Craft] but the new certificate cannot be issued or placed on board the ship before the expiry of the existing certificate, the Certifying Authority may endorse the existing certificate as valid for a period not exceeding 5 months from the expiry date.
(3) Where a renewal survey required under regulations 6(1) and 7 to 9 [F4to 9A] has not been satisfactorily completed before the expiry of the relevant Convention Certificate [F5or HSC Code Safety Certificate for Offshore Service Craft] and at the time of expiry the ship is not in a port in which it is to be surveyed, the Certifying Authority may, where it appears to it proper and reasonable to do so, extend the validity of the certificate solely for the purpose of allowing the ship to complete its voyage to its port of survey.
(4) Where no other extension has been granted, the Certifying Authority may extend the validity of a Convention Certificate [F6or HSC Code Safety Certificate for Offshore Service Craft] of ships engaged on short voyages for a period of no more than one month.
(5) An extension of validity under paragraph (1) or (2), and, except in special circumstances as determined by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, an extension of validity under paragraph (3) or (4), shall be disregarded for the purposes of determining the date of expiry of an existing Convention Certificate [F7or HSC Code Safety Certificate for Offshore Service Craft] under regulation 15(2) or (3).

Impact Assessments
Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
