PART 2 OF 2. REFER TO 506/97 FOR PART 1.
   E. DOCUMENTATION:  VESSEL DOCUMENTATION MUST CONFORM TO THE
      FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
      (1) AN ORIGINAL MANIFEST LIST, DESCRIBING THE CARGO AS WELL AS
          ITS 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, AND 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 0R UNSCR 986/1111. REFER TO PARAGRAPH 1 ABOVE FOR

      CASE BASIS.
   C. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PRE-CLEARANCE OPTIONS DISCUSSED ABOVE, THE
      MULTINATIONAL NAVAL FORCES RETAIN THE RIGHT UNDER UNSCR 665 AND

   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, ITS IDENTIFICATION WILL BE RECORDED SO THAT IT MAY BE
      VISUALLY IDENTIFIED AND NOT BOARDED DURING SUBSEQUENT TRANSITS.
