You may consider applying for Exemption 06 to seek an exemption from the conditions on a certificate of survey requiring a periodic survey or compass adjustment to be conducted by a particular date, or where a certificate of currency for equipment will be expiring.
As a result of changes to Marine Order 503, from 1 July 2018 vessel owners may now undertake periodic surveys 90 days either side of the periodic survey due date without making application.
Vessel owners will need only make application under Exemption 06 if they need an extension of between 91 and 180 days.
