I move amendment No. 37:

In page 23, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following:

22.—In the case of a transfer of an Irish ship to which this Chapter applies to the flag of a state to which the Safety Convention applies, being a party also to the MARPOL Convention, the Minister shall, if requested within 3 months of such transfer, transmit, as soon as possible, to the appropriate authorities of the government of such state, a copy of the international certificate of fitness (IBC) applicable to the ship before the transfer and, if available, copies of the relevant survey reports.".
