        period specified by the Director under section 26(1);

   (b)  if the ship is transferred to the registry of a place outside Hong
        Kong; or

   (c)  if any alteration has been made, without the approval of the Director,
        to the structure, equipment, systems, fittings, arrangements or
        material of the ship covered by the initial or renewal survey leading
        to the issue, or additional survey leading to the endorsement, of the
        Certificate, other than an alteration that constitutes a direct
        replacement of such equipment or fittings.
