Failure to update the inventory of hazardous materials does not constitute a detainable deficiency, but any inconsistencies in the inventory must be reported to the administration of that ship and must be redressed at the time of next survey. 4. Access to a specific port or anchorage may be permitted by the relevant authority of that Member State in the event of force majeure or overriding safety considerations, or to reduce or minimize the risk of pollution or to have deficiencies rectified, provided that adequate measures to the satisfaction of the relevant authority of such Member State have been implemented by the owner, the operator or the master of the ship to ensure safe entry.
