Definition of ‘‘a similar stage of construction’’:
AI-assisted research summary: This section defines “a similar stage of construction” for ships and says certain timing rules apply based on building contract, keel-laying, delivery, or installation dates.
1. Definition of ‘‘a similar stage of construction’’: Reg. 1.1.1 ‘‘A similar stage of construction’’ means the stage at which— (a) construction identifiable with a specific ship begins; and (b) assembly of that ship has commenced comprising at least 50 tonnes or one per cent of the estimated mass of all structural material, whichever is less. Building contract date, keel-laying date and delivery date Reg. 1.1.2.1 Under certain provisions of the SOLAS and MARPOL Conventions, the application of regulations to a ship is governed by the dates: (a) (b) for which the building contract is placed on or after dd/mm/yyyy; or in the absence of a building contract, the keel of which is laid or which is at a similar stage of construction on or after dd/mm/yyyy; or the delivery of which is on or after dd/mm/yyyy. (c) 1.1.2.2. For the application of such provisions, the date on which the building contract is placed for optional ships should be interpreted to be the date on which the original building contract to construct the series of ships is signed between the shipowner and the shipbuilder provided: (a) the option for construction of the optional ship(s) is ultimately exercised within the period of one year after the date of the original building contract for the series of ships; and the optional ships are of the same design plans and constructed by the same shipbuilder as that for the series of ships. (b) 2. The application of regulations governed as described in paragraph 1, above, is to be applied as follows: (a) if a building contract signing date occurs on or after the contract date specified for a particular set of regulation amendments, then, that set of regulation amendments applies; (c) (b) only in the absence of a building contract does the keel laying date criteria apply and, if a ship’s keel laying date occurs on or after the keel laying date specified for a particular set of regulation amendments, then, that set of regulation amendments applies; and regardless of the building contract signing date or keel laying date, if a ship’s delivery date occurs on or after the delivery date specified for a particular set of regulation amendments, then, that set of regulation amendments applies except in the case where the Administration has accepted that the delivery of the ships was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of the shipbuilder and the owner. 3. Installed on board a ship on or after 1 January 2010 Reg. 9.1.1. For application of resolution MEPC.159(55), the phrase ‘‘installed on board a ship on or after 1 January 2010’’ shall be interpreted as follows: (a) For new ships, installations on board ships the keels of which are laid or which are at a similar stage of construction on or after 1 January 2010. (b) For existing ships, new installations with a contractual delivery date to the ship on or after 1 January 2010 or, in the absence of a contractual delivery date, the actual delivery of the equipment to the ship on or after 1 January 2010. 9.1.2. Standard discharge connections Reg. 10.1 All ships subject to Annex IV, irrespective of their size and of the presence of a sewage treatment plant or sewage holding tank, shall be provided with a pipeline and the relevant shore connection flange for discharging sewage to port sewage treatment facility.

Omskrywing van ‘‘ ’n soortgelyke stadium van konstruksie’’:
AI-assisted research summary: This section defines when a ship is at a “similar stage of construction,” using the start of identifiable construction and a minimum assembly threshold.
1. Omskrywing van ‘‘ ’n soortgelyke stadium van konstruksie’’: Reg. 1.1.1 ‘‘ ’n Soortgelyke stadium van konstruksie’’ die stadium waarop— (a) konstruksie wat met ’n spesifieke skip vereenselwig kan word, begin; en (b) die samestelling van daardie skip het begin wat ten minste 50 ton of een persent van die geskatte massa van alle struktuurmateriaal uitmaak, wat ook al die minste is. Boukontrakdatum, kielleggingsdatum en afleweringsdatum Reg. 1.1.2.1 Kragtens sekere bepalings van die SOLAS- en MARPOL-konvensies, word die toepassing van regulasies op ’n skip beheer deur die datums: (a) waarvoor die boukontrak op of na dd/mm/jjjj geplaas word; of (b) in die afwesigheid van ’n boukontrak, waarvan die kiel gelê is of wat in ’n soortgelyke stadium van konstruksie is op of na dd/mm/jjjj; of (c) waarvan die aflewering op of na dd/mm/jjjj is. 1.1.2.2. Vir die toepassing van sodanige bepalings, moet die datum waarop die boukontrak vir opsionele skepe geplaas word, uitgelê word as die datum waarop die oorspronklike boukontrak om die reeks skepe te bou, tussen die skeepseienaar en die skeepsbouer onderteken is, met dien verstande dat: (a) die opsie vir konstruksie van die opsionele skip/skepe uiteindelik uitgeoefen word binne die tydperk van een jaar na die datum van die oorspronklike boukontrak vir die reeks skepe; en (b) die opsionele skepe van dieselfde ontwerpplanne is en deur dieselfde skeepsbouer gebou is as dié vir die reeks skepe. - 2 Verify source ↗

2. Regulasies wat beheer word soos beskryf in paragraaf 1, hierbo, moet soos volg toegepas word: (a) indien ’n ondertekeningsdatum van ’n boukontrak val op of na die kontrakdatum gespesifiseer vir ’n bepaalde stel regulasiewysigings, is daardie stel regulasiewysigings van toepassing; (b) die kielleggingsdatummaatstawwe is slegs van toepassing in die afwesigheid van ’n boukontrak en, indien ’n skip se kielleggingsdatum val op of na die kielleggingsdatum wat vir ’n bepaalde stel regulasiewysigings gespesifiseer is, is daardie stel regulasiewysigings van toepassing; en (c) ongeag die boukontraktekendatum of kielleggingsdatum, indien ’n skip se afleweringsdatum plaasvind op of na die afleweringsdatum wat gespesifiseer is vir ’n bepaalde stel regulasiewysigings, is daardie stel regulasiewysigings van toepassing, behalwe indien die Administrasie aanvaar dat die aflewering van die skepe vertraag is as gevolg van onvoorsiene omstandighede buite die beheer van die skeepsbouer en die eienaar. - 3 Verify source ↗
