Bunker, Civil Liability and Wreck Removal Certificates (BCLC / CLC / WRC)
Requirements for BCLC/CLC/WRC certificates include:
- Evidence of insurance or other financial security issued by a P&I club approved by the Administration
- Blue cards must be issued in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, 2001 or Article VII of International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1992, respectively.
- For non-Liberian flagged vessels whose Flag has not ratified the conventions, contact Vessel Certification Services. Payment prior to the issuance of the certificate must be provided.
BCLC/CLC/WRC can be applied for via WayPoint
Continuous Synopsis Record (CSR)
As required by SOLAS XI-1/5.4.3, vessels must have a CSR issued by the flag Administration. The CSR is intended to provide an on-board record of the history of the ship and should remain on board for the duration of the vessel’s active life.
After submitting Forms 2 and 3 to the Administration, make sure the CSR amendment and index are retained on the vessel as required by SOLAS XI-1/5.4.3. The amendment and index forms will serve in place of the new CSR which is to be issued as soon as possible and is to be on the ship no later than three months from the date of the change in accordance with SOLAS XI-1/5.4.2.
