Article 6
Exemptions
1.Ships when engaged on international voyages between the near neighbouring ports of two or more States may be exempted by the Administration from the provisions of the present Convention, so long as they shall remain engaged on such voyages, if the Governments of the States in which such ports are
situated shall be satisfied that the sheltered nature or conditions of such voyages between such ports make it unreasonable or impracticable to apply  the provisions of the present Convention to ships engaged on such voyages.
2.The Administration may exempt any ship which embodies features of a novel kind from any of the provisions of this Convention the application of which might seriously impede research into the development of such features and their incorporation in ships engaged on international voyages. Any such ship shall, however, comply with safety requirements, which, in the opinion of that Administration, are adequate for the service for which it is intended and are such as to ensure the overall safety of the ship and which are acceptable to the Governments of the States to be visited by the ship.
3.The Administration which allows any exemption under paragraphs (1) and (2) of this Article shall communicate to the Inter-Governmental  Maritime Consultative Organization (hereinafter called the Organization) particulars of the same and reasons therefor which the Organization shall circulate to the Contracting Governments for their information.
4.A ship which is not normally engaged on international voyages but which, in exceptional circumstances, is required to undertake a single international  voyage may be exempted by the Administration from any of the requirements of the present Convention, provided that it complies with safety requirements which,  in the opinion of that Administration, are adequate for the voyage which is to be undertaken by the ship.

The validity is generally for a voyage from one port to other mentioned in the exemption certificate or for the period same as what the loadline certficate would have been if there was no exepmtion.
