PART 2 OF 2. REFER TO 205/02 FOR PART 1.
   E. DOCUMENTATION: VESSEL DOCUMENTATION MUST CONFORM TO
      THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
       (1) AN ORIGINAL MANIFEST LIST, DESCRIBING THE CARGO AS WELL
           AS IT'S LOCATION IN THE SHIP, MUST BE ON BOARD. THE
           ORIGINAL MANIFEST MUST INCLUDE THE PORT OF ORIGIN, PORTS
           OF CALL, COMPLETE BUSINESS NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF ALL
           SHIPPERS AND CONSIGNEES AND A FINAL DESTINATION OF ALL
           CARGO. A COMPLETE BUSINESS ADDRESS MUST INCLUDE EITHER
           THE STREET ADDRESS, A PROMINENT IDENTIFIABLE GEOGRAPHIC
           LOCATION OR A POST OFFICE BOX PLUS A TELEPHONE NUMBER
           OR FAX NUMBER.
       (2) CARGO ADDRESSED TO A FREE-TRADE ZONE MUST HAVE THE NAME,
           ADDRESS, TELEPHONE OR FAX NUMBER OF THE CONSIGNEE
           TAKING CUSTODY OF THE CONTAINER OR CARGO.
       (3) CONSIGNEE NAMES AND ADDRESSES ON ALL CARGO MUST MATCH
           THE MANIFEST.
       (4) THE MANIFEST MUST BE SIGNED IN THE ORIGINAL BY THE
           VESSEL'S MASTER OR CHIEF MATE. THE MANIFEST MAY BE ON
           SHIPPER'S LETTERHEAD, FAX, PHOTOCOPY OR COMPUTER
           PRINTOUT, BUT IT MUST BEAR AN ORIGINAL SIGNATURE,
           CONTAIN ALL THE INFORMATION LISTED ABOVE AND OTHERWISE
           COMPLY WITH NORMAL MARITIME TRANSPORT PRACTICE.
       (5) THE ORIGINAL MANIFEST MAY CONSIST OF MORE THAN ONE
           DOCUMENT IF THERE ARE AMENDMENTS THAT LIST CARGO DROPPED
           OFF AT A GIVEN PORT OR CORRECT THE ORIGINAL MANIFEST.
           THESE AMENDMENTS MAY ORIGINATE FROM THE SHIPPER OR
           CARRIER. SINCE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS MAY BE TRANSMITTED
           TO A VESSEL BY SUCH MEANS AS TELEGRAM OR FAX, THEY NEED
           NOT BEAR AN ORIGINAL SIGNATURE. HOWEVER, THE MASTER IS
           REQUIRED TO CERTIFY IN WRITING THAT THE AMENDED MANIFEST
           ACCURATELY REFLECTS WHAT IS ON BOARD THE VESSEL. THE
           UNDERLYING REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR ACCURATE DOCUMENTATION
           OF CARGO AND DESTINATION AND FOR A HIGH DEGREE OF
           CONFIDENCE THAT THE DOCUMENTS ARE AUTHENTIC.
       (6) IF APPLICABLE, THE CARGO DOCUMENTATION MUST INCLUDE A
           COPY OF THE AUTHORIZATION ISSUED BY THE U.N. PURSUANT
           TO UNSCR 661 OR UNSCR 986 AND SUBSEQUENT RESOLUTIONS.
           REFER TO PARAGRAPH 1 ABOVE FOR SPECIFIC AUTHORIZATION
           REQUIREMENTS.
 4. VESSEL PRE-CLEARANCE:
    A. OIL TANKERS INBOUND TO THE MINA AL-BAKR TERMINAL PURSUANT TO
       U.N. AUTHORIZATION UNDER UNSCR 986 AND SUBSEQUENT RESOLUTIONS
       WILL NORMALLY BE AUTHORIZED TO PROCEED UNINTERRUPTED THROUGH
       THE CHECKPOINT DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 3.C. ADVANCE

    B. VESSELS TRANSPORTING BULK HUMANITARIAN CARGOES ARE INVITED
       TO CONTACT THE MIF COORDINATOR PRIOR TO SAILING TO EXPLORE
       PRE-CLEARANCE OPTIONS WHICH USE VOYAGE MONITORING METHODS
       AND CARGO LOADING CERTIFICATION FROM APPROVED AGENTS. THE
       MIF COORDINATOR MAY CONSIDER ALTERNATE PRE-CLEARANCE
       PROCEDURES ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
    C. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PRE-CLEARANCE OPTIONS DISCUSSED ABOVE,
       THE MULTINATIONAL NAVAL FORCES RETAIN THE RIGHT UNDER
       UNSCR 665 AND OTHER RELEVANT RESOLUTIONS TO CONDUCT
       DOCUMENT CHECKS AND AT-SEA INSPECTIONS OF ANY VESSEL
       WHEN DEEMED NECESSARY.
 5. INCOMPLETE DOCUMENTATION: IRAQ-BOUND VESSELS WHICH ARE
    DETERMINED TO HAVE INCOMPLETE CARGO MANIFESTS OR TO BE
    OTHERWISE IN VIOLATION OF REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN THIS
    ADVISORY, MAY BE DETAINED BY THE NAVAL FORCES OR DIVERTED
    TO A NON-IRAQ PORT UNTIL APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS ARE MET.
 6. PETROLEUM EXPORTS AND BUNKER FUEL NOT APPROVED BY THE U.N:
    OUTBOUND VESSELS ARE SUBJECT TO SEARCH BY THE MIF. IF AN
    INTERCEPTED VESSEL IS SUSPECTED TO BE CARRYING A CARGO OF IRAQI
    PETROLEUM, PETROLEUM PRODUCTS OR HAS TAKEN ON IRAQI BUNKER FUEL
    WITHOUT U.N. AUTHORIZATION, THE MIF WILL TAKE CARGO AND BUNKER
    FUEL SAMPLES FOR LABORATORY ANALYSIS, EXAMINATION, AND
    COMPARISON WITH IRAQI CONTROL SAMPLES. VESSELS SUSPECTED OF
    VIOLATING U.N. SANCTIONS MAY BE DETAINED, AND IF IT IS
    DETERMINED THAT A PETROLEUM CARGO IS OF IRAQI ORIGIN, THE
    CARGO WILL BE SEIZED AND DISPOSED OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNSCR
    778. IN SUCH CASES THE VESSEL ITSELF AND CREW MAY BE SUBJECT
    TO ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS BY AN ACCEPTING U.N. MEMBER STATE.
 7. CRUISE AND PASSENGER SHIPS: CRUISE OR PASSENGER SHIPS
    TRAVERSING THE MIF ENFORCEMENT AREA WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE
    FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
    A. VESSELS WITH NO COMMERCIAL CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY MAY
       ARRANGE FOR AN EXPEDITIOUS TRANSIT THROUGH THE ENFORCEMENT
       AREA BY FORWARDING CERTIFICATION FROM A MEMBER OF THE
       INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CLASSIFICATION SOCIETIES (IACS)
       THAT THE SHIP HAS NO SUCH CAPACITY. THE CERTIFICATION MUST BE
       SENT BY LETTER OR FAX AT LEAST SIXTY DAYS PRIOR TO TRANSIT.
    B. A PASSENGER VESSEL ARRIVING IN THE ENFORCEMENT AREA WHICH HAS
       NOT COMPLIED WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PARAGRAPH 7.A WILL BE
       BOARDED AND INSPECTED DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. IF IT IS
       DETERMINED THAT THE VESSEL HAS NO COMMERCIAL CARGO CARRYING
       CAPACITY, IT'S IDENTIFICATION WILL BE RECORDED SO THAT IT
       MAY BE VISUALLY IDENTIFIED AND NOT BOARDED DURING SUBSEQUENT
       TRANSITS.
