303. Issue of Certificate by other Governments
The Minister may request the Government of a country to which the Safety Convention applies, or any organisation authorised to act in that behalf by the Minister, to issue in respect of a Saint Lucian ship any certificate the issue of which is required under this Act; and a certificate issued under such a request and containing a statement that it has been so issued shall have effect for the purposes of this Act as if it had been issued by the Minister and not by the Government of that country.
