12. Bunkers. —The Ship’s average consumption
of Oil/Coal is per day, and the total
quantity of bunkers on board the Ship is
tons Coal/Oil. The report in the Engineer’s log
coincides with this statement. I consider this
amount to be reasonable for the Ship’s requirements
and is required for the Ship’s exclusive use. I under
take that none will at any time be off-loaded during
the voyage and that it will not be off-loaded at the
end of the voyage except with the authority of His
Britannic Majesty’s Consular Officer at that port.
13. Ship’s Stores and Lubricating Oil\ —The list
of stores on board the Ship has been submitted to
His Britannic Majesty’s Consular Officer and has
been approved by him, and I undertake not to
embark any further stores or lubricating oil during
this voyage without the approval of one of His
Britannic Majesty’s Consular Officers. I declare
that these stores and lubricating oil are required for
the exclusive use of the Ship. I undertake not to
unload any part of these stores or lubricating oil at
any port of call unless with the approval of His
Britannic Majesty’s Consular Officer, and not to unload
any part of these stores or lubricating oil at a port
of discharge unless with the approval of His Britannic
Majesty’s Consular Officer. I further undertake
that any articles required for the use of the owners
(or charterers) on shore have been treated as freight
and have been entered on the manifest, and have
not been treated as ship’s stores.
14. If the Ship does not leave port within 72 hours
of the issue of the Ship Navicert, or if she sails and
subsequently returns to port for any reason, I will
inform His Britannic Majesty’s Consular Officer of
the circumstances, and I understand that the Ship
Navicert issued by him must be re-submitted for
his approval.
15. If the Ship calls at any port before (here give
first port of call) I will inform His
Britannic Majesty’s Consular Officer in that port of
the circumstances and will furnish this document
and the Ship’s manifest for his inspection and endorse
ment.
16. Upon the Ship’s arrival at (here give last port
of call) I will surrender this document
to His Britannic Majesty’s Consular Officer in that
port, and I will produce a copy of the Ship’s manifest
for his inspection. Further I will surrender any
navicerts, export licences or other official documents
relating to cargo discharged at intermediate ports
to His Britannic Majesty’s Consular Officers in these
ports.
17. If the Ship receives instructions while at sea
to proceed to any port other than (here give first
port of call)... I will inform His
Britannic Majesty’s Consular Officer in that port
immediately upon arrival, and I will surrender this
document and any navicerts, export licences, certifi
cates of origin and interest, or other official documents
relating to items of cargo to His Britannic Majesty’s
Consular Officer in that port, and I will produce a
copy of the Ship’s manifest for his inspection.
I certify on my honour that all my statements
above are true.
