ACS UR E22 (hereinafter referred to as "UR E22") is unified requirements relating to computer-based systems used on vessels, which has recently been amended and adopted as UR E22 (Rev.3) to better clarify the requirements, specific to each of the phases of design, development, commissioning, and maintenance.
ClassNK has amended Rules to involve incorporating UR E22 (Rev.3) into Rules/Guidance for the Survey and Construction of Steel Ships, Part X that have been newly established (scheduled to come into effect in July 2024). Contemporaneously with the amendments, existing Part D, Chapter 18, Annex 18.1.1 of the Rules and Guidance for the Survey and Construction of Steel Ships, which specifies the requirements pursuant to UR E22 (Rev.2), has been deleted

The Maritime Safety Committee, at its eighty-first session 10 to 19 May 2006, recalled that at
its seventy-fifth session (15 to 24 May 2002), it had considered the issue of the unacceptably high
number of accidents with lifeboats in which crew were being injured, sometimes fatally, while
participating in lifeboat drills and/or inspections, and noted that most accidents fell under the

This February 2022 Updated Matrix identifies and summarizes international regulations to be complied with for the next several years based on compliance dates for new and existing ships according to ship type, size and age. It includes new regulations adopted at MEPC 77 and MSC 104 in Fall 2021.

This document is submitted in order to provide stakeholder input to the data gathering and analysis plan (DGAP) (BWM.2/Circ.67/Rev.1) as envisaged in the experience-building phase (resolution 290(71)) and provides the Committee with a copy of INTERTANKO's Commentary on entries in the ballast water record book (BWRB)

The Guidance is intended to facilitate compliance with MARPOL requirements on board ships by providing advice to crews on how to record the various operations in the Oil Record Book by using the correct codes and item numbers in order to ensure a more uniform
port State control procedure.

DISCHARGE WATER DATA COLLECTION

Executive summary:
This document proposes specific guidance on accidental breakdown, instrument malfunction and perceived temporary non-compliance and transient performance of EGCS.

This circular lists only the certificates and documents that are required under IMO instruments and it does not include certificates or documents required by other international organizations or governmental authorities.

IMO’s Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers (CCC 4, which met 11-15 September at IMO Headquarters), raised awareness on the potential risks posed by moisture and provided new guidance on carriage of bauxite, in the form of a circular aimed at shippers, terminal operators, shipowners, ship operators, charterers, shipmasters and all other entities concerned.

MSC.1/Circ. 1578 19 June 2017 The Committee approved the Guidelines on safety during abandon ship drills using lifeboats, following the amalgamation of annex 1 to the Measures to prevent accidents with lifeboats and the Interim Recommendation on conditions for authorization of service providers for lifeboats, launching appliances and on-load release gear in the Requirements for maintenance, thorough examination, operational testing, overhaul and repair of lifeboats and rescue boats, launching appliances and release gear.

The purpose of these Guidelines is to provide a basic outline of essential steps to safely carry out simulated launching. These Guidelines are general; the lifeboat manufacturer's instruction manual should always be consulted before conducting simulated launching.

The information contained in these Guidelines should be regarded as guidance in achieving an efficient and effective system for the handling of oily bilge water and oily residues for new buildings and, where applicable and reasonable, for ships which are in service.

2.5.2 If a ship has violated the BWM Convention, the PSCO may take steps to warn, detain or  exclude  the  ship  or  grant  such  a  ship  permission  to  leave  to  discharge  ballast  water  
elsewhere or seek repairs.

Resolutions are adopted by the key organs and committees of the Organization.  Resolutions are issued within official IMO meeting reports and documents relating to the relevant committee or organ.
