🔍 Key Concepts

• International Load Line Certificate validity and annual survey requirements • Time window allowed for annual surveys (early/late) relative to the anniversary date • Difference between the issue date of the certificate and the acceptable dates for endorsements

💭 Think About

• Figure out what the official anniversary date is for a load line certificate issued on 27 May 1992 • Recall how many years the certificate remains valid and how often it must be endorsed by survey • Determine how far BEFORE and AFTER the anniversary date a survey can be carried out and still be endorsed for that year

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the definition of anniversary date for load line purposes • Verify the allowed survey window (in months) on either side of the anniversary date • Check which option falls outside the allowed window for any of the required annual/periodic surveys
