(TBT, PCB,...) - Inventory of Hazardous Materials (Booklets to be maintained over the lifetime of the ship) - Surveys and Certification - Final Survey (before ship recycling) all ships pay attention to already existing additional national or local legislations by US, Canada, Australia, Chile, Israel, New Zealand, Buenos Aires, Scapa Flow, Vancouver for all ships of 500 gt and upwards on international voyages Maritime Labour Convention not yet in force 20 August ILO Maritime Labour Convention The ILO's Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 provides comprehensive rights and protection at work for the world's more than 1.2 million seafarers. The new labour standard consolidates and updates more than 65 international labour standards related to seafarers adopted over the last 80 years. The Convention sets out seafarers' rights to decent conditions of work on a wide range of subjects, and aims to be globally applicable, easily understandable, readily updatable and uniformly enforced. It has been designed to become a global instrument known as the "fourth pillar" of the

2 international regulatory regime for quality shipping, complementing the key Conventions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Source: ILO Amendment to MARPOL Annex IV - Sewage Baltic Sea becomes "Special Area" Annex V - Garbage Baltic Sea becomes "Special Area" Amendment to SOLAS non-compliant lifeboat on-load release mechanisms to be replaced (expected) (expected) MEPC.62 Summary MEPC.201(62) MSC.317(89) The MEPC adopted amendments to IV Prevention of pollution by sewage from ships to include the possibility of establishing Special Areas for the prevention of such pollution from passenger ships and to designate the Baltic Sea as a Special Area under this Annex. The amendments are expected to enter into force on. <br<>the MEPC adopted the revised V Regulations for the prevention of pollution by garbage from ships. The main changes include the updating of definitions; the inclusion of a new requirement specifying that discharge of all garbage into the sea is prohibited, except as expressly provided otherwise (the discharges permitted in certain circumstances include food wastes, cargo residues and water used for washing deck and external surfaces containing cleaning agents or additives which are not harmful to the marine environment); expansion of the requirements for placards and garbage management plans to fixed and floating platforms engaged in exploration and exploitation of the sea-bed; and the addition of discharge requirements covering animal carcasses.</br<> New SOLAS regulation III/1.5 requires that for all ships, on-load release mechanisms not complying with paragraphs to of the LSA Code, as amended by resolution MSC.320(89), be replaced or modified not next scheduled dry-docking after 1 July 2014, but not later than 1 July for all ships. - for all ships. IMO has released a Circular with Guidelines for Evaluation and Replacement of Lifeboat Release

3 Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) Annual Testing of AIS STCW Manila Amendments (expected, if not less than one third of the parties which hold not less than 50% of world's gross tonnage have notified their objections.) MEPC 62 MEPC.203(62) and Retrieval Systems: MSC.1/Circ.1392 (205 kb) IMO's MEPC has adopted an amendment to (new chapter 4) regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emmisions by ships. The aim of the amendment is to improve the energy effeciency performance of ships. To reach this goal an Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new buildings will be established. Further a shipspecific Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) has to be developed by shipowners or operators for all of their ships. 1 July 2012 MSC.308(88) The automatic identification system (AIS) shall be subjected to an annual test. The test shall be conducted by an approved surveyor or an approved testing or servicing facility. The test shall verify the correct programming of the ship static information, correct data exchange with connected sensors as well as verifying the radio performance by radio frequency measurement and on-air test using, e.g., a Vessel Traffic Service (VTS). A copy of the test report shall be retained on board the ship (transitional period until 31 Dec 2016) STCW - Manila Conference The Manila Amendments of STCW include a lot of changes e.g.: adaptation of rest time hours to ILO-180 and MLC, approved Bridge Resource Management knowledges for navigational watch officers, new ECDIS approved training requirements for navigational watch officers,... Although the amendments enter into force at the beginning of next year there is a big transitional period until 31 December But finally any endorsement of training certificats as well as the issuance of new Certificates of Competency (CoC) is a matter of Flagstates. Owners/Operators should observe corresponding flagstate circulars in this regard where national rules will be laid down or should contact their flagstate administrations for national action dates. - for all cargo ships over 400gt. - for all cargo ships over 150gt. - for all ships.

Such a procedure shall be carried aboard the ship for use in emergency situations and shall be based on existing arrangements and equipment available on board the ship MSC.291(87)... carriage requirement for portable instruments for oxygen measuring for tankers are included in regulation II-2/ May MEPC 60th Session Since 1993 the "Wider Carribean Region" was designated as Special Area under MARPOL Annex V but this regulation has not taken effekt because of missing port reception facilities within this area. Now the local states meet the criteria of sufficient reception capacity and the date on which the Regulation shall take effekt has been set by MEPC60 to 1 May. Ship Owners and Operators should advise their ship's crews about changed requirements on garbage disposal when sailing in that region.

5 Annex I International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargo Code (IMSBC Code) MSC.268(85) IMSBC Code MSC.269(85) Amendments to SOLAS Bilge Water and Oily Bilge Water Holding Tank. Further, prohibited pumping operations between bilge system and sludge tanks and the dealing with the disposal of oil residues (sludge) are described. Finally amendments of the Oil Record Book are required. BC Code will be replaced by the IMSBC Code and becomes mandatory for all ships carrying solid bulk cargoes carrying solid bulk cargoes Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS) Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) SOLAS, Amendments 2008/2009, Chapter V, Regulation 19 seemsc.282(86) SOLAS, Amendments 2008/2009, Chapter V, Regulation 19 seemsc.282(86) The purpose of a bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS) is to monitor bridge activity and detect operator disability which could lead to marine accidents. The system monitors the awareness of the Officer of the Watch (OOW) and automatically alerts the Master or another qualified OOW if for any reason the OOW becomes incapable of performing the OOW's duties. This purpose is achieved by a series of indications and alarms to alert first the OOW and, if he is not responding, then to alert the Master or another qualified OOW. Additionally, the BNWAS may provide the OOW with a means of calling for immediate assistance, if required. For more info refer to: and IMO Resolution MSC.128(75) - Performance Standards for BNWAS (89 kb) Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) means a navigation information system which with adequate back-up arrangements can be accepted as complying with the up-to-date chart required by regulations V/19 and V/27 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, by displaying selected information from a system electronic navigational chart (SENC) with positional information from navigation sensors to assist the mariner in route planning and route monitoring, and if required - cargo ships of 500gt up to 3000gt,, not 1st survey - cargo ships of 3,000gt and upwards,, not 2012 (for smaller ships and other ship types refer to SOLAS) - tankers of 3,000gt and upwards, 2012, not cargo ships of 50,000gt and upwards,, not
