Merchant Shipping Act (No. 52 of 1971) - Sect 151

Cancellation or suspension of certificates

151.
(1) The Minister may cancel or suspend a certificate relating to any ship where he has reason to believe that-
(a) any declaration of survey on which the certificate was founded has been in any particular made fraudulently or erroneously;
(b) the certificate has been issued on false or erroneous information; or
(c) since the making of the declaration of survey the hull, equipment or machinery of the ship has sustained any injury, or is otherwise insufficient.
(2) In every such case the Minister may require the owner to have the ship again surveyed, and to obtain a further declaration of survey before the reissue of the certificate or the grant of a fresh one in lieu thereof.
