🔍 Key Concepts

• Load line certificate validity under 46 CFR and International Load Line Convention • Difference between survey periodicity and certificate validity period • Role of a recognized classification society (like ABS) acting under Coast Guard authority

💭 Think About

• Think about how often major statutory certificates (like load line, safety construction) are normally renewed on seagoing vessels. • Ask yourself: Is the load line certificate renewed as frequently as annual inspections, or is it on a longer cycle with annual/periodic endorsements? • Consider what the International Load Line Convention sets as the maximum validity for a fully compliant ship, and how the Coast Guard typically follows that.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR (Subchapter E – Load Lines) what the maximum period of validity is for an International Load Line Certificate. • Check whether the certificate requires annual surveys/endorsements during its life, and how that relates to the total validity period. • Confirm that the ABS, acting on behalf of the Coast Guard, follows the same validity period as the International Load Line Convention.
