Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: Yes.
A Contracting Government, through its Port State Control, has the authority to take control measures, including denying entry or delaying a ship. This action is taken if there are clear grounds to believe the ship is not in compliance with the requirements of SOLAS Chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code.
