Data entry notes: 
MEPC 39(29); The amendments are designed to introduce the harmonized system of survey and certificates(HSSC) into MARPOL 73/78 at the same time as it enters into force for the SOLAS and Load Lines Conventions. All three instruments require the issuing of certificates to show that requirements have been met and this has to be done by means of a survey which can involve the ship being out of service for several days. The harmonized system alleviates the problems caused by survey dates and intervals between surveys which do not coincide, so that a ship should no longer have to go into port or repair yard for a survey required by one convention shortly after doing the same thing in connection with another instrument.
