When ships are deleted from the Register of Cyprus ships
When a ship is to be deleted from the Register of Cyprus Ships, the owners / managers / authorized representatives must communicate in writing the name of the new flag administration in order to speed up the issuance of the closed CSR (which includes the deletion details from this Administration).
When a ship is deleted from the Register of Cyprus Ships, and the original CSR or CSRs issued by this Administration to the ship are not on board the ship, all missing CSRs will be re-issued provided that:
A written request has been submitted to the Maritime Security Section of the DMS by the new owner providing sufficient reasoning for submitting this request.
The new owner has appointed an authorized representative (name of whom to be notified to the Maritime Security Section) to collect these documents from the offices of the Deputy Ministry of Shipping in Limassol Cyprus.
The appropriate fees have been paid to the Deputy Ministry of Shipping.
When a ship is deleted from the Register of Cyprus Ships, and the new administration of the ship has not received the certified copies of the CSR (within the specified three month period) then, new certified copies may be re-issued provided that a written request has been submitted to the Maritime Security Section of the SDM by the new administration, providing full details of the address where it should be delivered.
Amendments to the contents of the CSR of ships under Cyprus flag
According to Resolution A 959(23) and Resolution MSC 198(80) of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), whenever any change relating to the entries listed in the CSR documents issued for a Ship under Cyprus Flag has taken place, the master / company must complete forms CSR Form 2 and CSR Form 3 respectively. These forms must be available on board at all times until the amended CSR (original and not copy) has been received by the master.
Circulars 11/2008 and 5/2009 must be consulted on information related to the Implementation of the IMO Unique Company and Registered Owner Identification Number Scheme (resolution MSC.160 (78)) and the issuance of CSR documents.
