Italian term or phrase: certificato di idoneità
Here I am again with more doubts from my translation of a series of strings from a programme for use by a port authority to manage ships arriving, loading/unloading and departing from the terminal.
One of the entries in a list of certificates to be presented is: "Certificato di idoneità". I had found "Certificato di idoneità al mare" translated as "Certificate of seaworthiness", but then a few lines later I came across "Certificato di navigabilità", which I would certainly translate as "seaworthiness". Can anyone help me with another way of translating "ideoneità" in this context? Thanks, Sarah.

A seaworthiness certificate or a certificate of navigability shall be issued for a period of five years if a ship has passed the initial survey or a periodical survey.
