Hopefully, the user will find what he or she looks for using for instance the Table of Contents searching by type of documents, or using free text search with or without search operators. The 12th version of IMO-Vega is still issued on a single disk. The IMO-Vega database requires that the computer operates on Windows -98 SE or newer and Microsoft .NET framework. IMO-Vega contains historical data, including superseded regulations. The database is updated annually. IMO-Vega is sold by IMO's Publications Section in London.
3. International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships (IAFS Convention).
An international convention banning the use of harmful organo-tins in anti-fouling paints used on ships hulls entered into force on 17 September 2008. The International Convention on control of harmful 'AntiFouling Systems' (AFSs) on ships was adopted by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) October 2001. Under the terms of the Convention, it enters into force 12 months after 25 States representing 25 per cent of the worlds merchant shipping tonnage have ratified it. On the 17 September 2007, the AFS Convention was ratified by 25 States with 38.11 per cent of world merchant shipping tonnage. The key elements of the convention of particular significance for the shipping and offshore industry are; Ban of application, re-application, installation and use of AFSs containing organo-tin compound acting as a biocide (hereinafter called TBT for short). Ships shall carry an 'International Anti-Fouling System (IAFS) Certificate' to evidence compliance with the convention. It is recognised that Classification Societies will be requested to handle control of harmful AFSs on behalf of the Administrations under the IMO convention. Until the Convention enters into force on the 17 September 2008, owners are recommended to secure satisfactory documentation at the first dry docking where a non-TBT AFS is being applied if not already so done. DNV has offered an advisory service to handle the control of harmful AFSs already from the end of 2002. The service is primarily based on a documentation review, survey and testing. A 'Statement of Compliance' (SoC) based upon the same principles as for the IAFS Certificate is issued. For EU flagged ships, DNV has been issuing IAFS Certificates since the adaptation of an EU Regulation

2. IMO-Vega database
All regulations covered by this publication may be found in the IMO-Vega database, a database developed and maintained by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) in close cooperation with IMO. In addition to the regulations of the conventions and codes the database contains the corresponding interpretations, guidelines and resolutions from IMO's Assembly, Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) and Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC). The 13th version of the IMO Vega database was released 2008. IMO-Vega v.13 is in Windows format and is more user friendly for the complex task of navigation among
of 14 April 2003 which is quite equal to the IMO Convention and which is valid until the IMO Convention enters into force. All ships with EU flag shall have IAFS Certificate or SoC from 1.01.2008, but EU will also require IAFS Certificate or SoC from all ships that intend to trade within EU waters from the same date. The DNV advisory service will continue as before until entry into force on 17 September 2008. For ships that comply with the convention after 17 September 2008, IAFS Certificates will be issued for ships where DNV has authority from the flag. For other ships SoCs will be issued as before. All ships shall have an IAFS Certificate or a SoC within two years after the entry into force of 17 September 2008. The entry into force dates of the requirements of the above new convention have been included in Tables A and B.
Reserve buoyancy at the bow will also influence the pitching motions in extreme seas in a favourable manner and provide additional buoyancy when the bow is submerged, hence improving the seaworthiness of the ship, especially in head seas. Hatch cover loads - Reg. 16. After extensive discussions the MSC 76 approved maximum sea load levels for the forward hatches based on a proposal by UK. The hatch cover loads will increase considerably compared to the requirement in the existing LL Convention. It was also agreed to add a new provision related to hatch cover horizontal loading.
5. New Convention on Ballast Water Management

At the International Conference on Ballast Water Management for Ships, held in February 2004, the new International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships Ballast Water and Sediments was completed and adopted. It is now available for ratification and will enter into force 12 months after signing by 30 States, representing 35 per cent of world merchant shipping tonnage. With this entry into force mechanism it is difficult to foresee exactly when the new Convention will enter into force. However, requirements for acceptable ballast water management methods have been given more exact dates. The main impact of these requirements is that ballast water exchange will be phased out as an acceptable method for complying with the Convention during a period of time from 2009 to 2016, depending on ballast water capacity and date of delivery of the vessel. After this, ballast water treatment will be the only remaining option for complying with the Convention.
4. 2003 Load Lines Protocol.

The IMO MSC 76 meeting (December 2002) approved amendments to Annex B to the 1988 LL Protocol. These amendments were adopted by MSC 77 in June 2003. The amendments entered into force on 1 January 2005 for flag states that have ratified the 1988 LL Protocol. Some specific items of particular interest are outlined below.
Bow height and reserve buoyancy - Reg. 39. The formula for minimum bow height is based on deck wetness considerations. This implies that any ship with minimum bow height would be subject to shipping water at the bow at a common and acceptable long-term probability level. Its application will mean that the minimum required bow height of smaller ships (length less than 100m) will increase to some extent and for large ships with type B freeboard the minimum bow height will be at least the same or greater than those calculated under the existing formula. An analysis of existing ships shows that the deficiency of reserve buoyancy in the forward part is apparent for large type B ships with reduced freeboard and zero sheer. This applies in particular to cape size bulk carriers, which have around 25% less reserve buoyancy in the space extending 0.15 L aft of FP than the equivalent ship with standard bow sheer. The MSC 76 approved a new formula and related provisions on reserve buoyancy for type B ships, except tankers which sometimes are assigned a type B freeboard.
6. Revised Annex I of MARPOL 73/78, i.e. 2004 MARPOL, Annex I Amendments.

At its 52nd session (October 2004) MEPC adopted a revised Annex I. The revised Annex I entered into force on 1 January 2007. The layout of the Annex has been totally changed, and outdated text has also been excluded. In addition to this main changes of substance are: Double bottom required in cargo pump room for oil tankers of 5000 tonnes deadweight and above with keel laid on or after 1 January 2007. Accidental oil outflow performance calculations for oil tankers delivered on or after 1 January 2010.
DET NORSKE VERITAS
Report Last updated: 2009-03-03 Access to computerised, shore-based damage stability and residual strength calculation programs required for all oil tankers of 5000 tonnes deadweight and above from 1 January 2007. This means some kind of emergency response system or service (ERS) is required. This may be the Owners own system, or one may be registered with an ERS offered e.g. by Det Norske Veritas. reorganization of the guidelines to include a new section on survey guidelines for the inspection of double hull tankers.
7. 2005 SOLAS Amendments

A complete revision of the subdivision and stability provisions of Ch. II-1 was adopted with entry into force set for 1 January 2009. The revision of SOLAS chapter II-1 is intended to harmonize the provisions on subdivision and damage stability for passenger and cargo ships. The provisions of the present Parts A, B and B-1 have been revised as Parts A, B, B-1, B-2, B-3, and B-4 and will be applicable to new ships built after the expected entry into force date of 1 January 2009. The amendments, which have been intensively developed over the past decade, are based on the probabilistic method of determining damage stability, which is itself based on the detailed study of data collected by IMO relating to collisions. Because it is based on statistical evidence concerning what actually happens when ships collide, the probabilistic concept is believed to be far more realistic than the previous deterministic method used for passenger ships. The revision has taken into account the results of the HARDER (Harmonisation of Rules and Design Rational) research project: a project undertaken by a consortium of European industrial, research and academic institutions to study the probabilistic approach for assessing a ship's damage stability and to develop new criteria and indexes for subdivision based on probability of survival, taking into account effects from waves, heeling moments, cargo shift, transient effects and equalization arrangements. For passenger ships the marking of subdivision loadlines has been changed from C.1, C.2, etc. to P1, P2, etc. In the 2005 SOLAS Amendments there are also a few other changes to chapter II-1 with entry into force on 01.01.2007.
9. 2006 Amendments to the Revised MARPOL Annex I (Addition of new regulation 12A on oil fuel tank protection)
At the 54th session (March 2006) MEPC adopted the new regulation 12A of the revised MARPOL Annex I on Oil fuel tank protection. The regulation will be applicable to all ships with an aggregate oil fuel capacity of 600 m3 and above: - for which the building contract was placed on or after 1 August 2007;or - in the absence of a building contract, the keels of which are laid or which are at a similar stage of construction on or after 1 February 2008; or - the delivery of which is on or after 1 August 2010. The regulation will also apply to major conversions carried out with milestone dates for the conversion similar to the above dates. The regulation will require that oil fuel tanks greater than 30 m3 are to be protected by a double hull arrangement. Alternatively to a double hull arrangement with boundary distances as given in regulations 13A.6, 7. 8 is a double hull arrangement complying with the accidental oil fuel outflow performance as set out in regulation 13A.11.
10. 2006 SOLAS Amendments

Amendments to SOLAS were adopted both by the MSC 81 and 82 meetings in May and December 2006. The amendments in May were not so extensive, however, - with intended entry into force 31.12.2008 a system for transmitting long range identification and tracking information (LRIT) has been introduced in addition to AIS for ships operating outside sea area A1, and - with intended entry into force 1. July 2010 lifejackets for infants have been introduced (in addition to lifejackets for children), and there are restrictions in EPIRBs' transmission through Inmarsat. The amendments in December 2006 are more extensive.
8. 2005 Amendments to Res. A.744(18) - Enhanced Survey Programme for bulk carriers and oil tankers.
The amendments to the Guidelines on the enhanced programme of inspections during surveys of bulk carriers and oil tankers (Resolution 744(18)), as amended by Resolution MSC.197(80), incorporate some elements of the Condition Assessment Scheme (CAS) under the revised MARPOL, regulation I/13G as well as a complete
- With entry into force 1. July 2008 the PSPC Code has been made mandatory (see separate information on the PSPC Code), the requirements for end-for-ending of wire falls for launching appliances have been deleted and replaced with requirements for maintenance, periodical inspection, and renewal when found necessary, at max. 5 years intervals. For passenger ships there will be requirements to fire safety of cabin balconies. - With intended entry into force 1. July 2010 a new regulation has been made both in chapters II-1 and III introducing the option of designs and arrangements alternative to prescriptive requirements, i.e. similar to what was introduced with Reg. 17 in chapter II-2 in the 2000 Amendments. Further there will for new large (more than 3 MVZs or L 120 m) passengers ships be requirements for safe return to port, i.e. requirements to redundancy are being introduced. - With intended entry into force 1. July 2009 one gets the impression that Parts A, B, and B-1 in chapter II-1 have been totally revised. However, it appears that this is just a repeat of the 2005 SOLAS Amendments, which also are to enter into force on the same date. The only new thing are two new regulations concerning safe return to port for large passenger ships, and these two new regulations are aimed at entering into force 01.07.2010, i.e. together with the chapter II-2 new requirements for safe return to port.
12. Amendments to mandatory instruments made at MSC.84

The following main amendments were adopted by MSC.84 in May 2008: - Improved drainage in closed vehicle and ro-ro spaces and special category spaces - Introducing requirements for embarkation/disembarkation (such as gangways and accommodation ladders) - Emergency towing procedures for all ships - IMDG Code revised - New SPS Code 2008 adopted
13. Revised MARPOL Annex VI and the NOx Technical Code at MEPC.58
Through Resolution MEPC.176(58) IMO has revised MARPOL Annex VI, Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships. The revision is expected to enter into force 1 July 2010 and addresses the following main items: reduces sulphur content in fuels reduces NOx limits for diesel engines VOC Management Plan (subject to approval) (VOC = Volatile Organic Compounds)
11. IMO Performance Standard for Protective Coating (PSPC)

With entry into force 1. July 2008 the Performance Standard for Protective Coating (PSPC) has been made mandatory. The performance standard provides technical requirements for protective coatings in dedicated seawater ballast tanks of all type of ships of not less than 500 gross tonnage and double-side skin spaces arranged in bulk carriers of 150 m in length and upward which are constructed, the keels of which are laid or which are delivered on or after the dates referred to in SOLAS regulation II-1/3-2. The Standard is based on a detailed specification and requirements which intend to provide a target useful coating life of 15 years, which is considered to be the time period, from initial application, over which the coating system is intended to remain in GOOD condition. The actual useful life will vary, depending on numerous variables including actual conditions encountered in service. The coating application (including steel surface preparation) shall be followed up by 1. Coating system approval 2. Coating inspection 3. Verification A Coating Technical File shall be prepared.
14. Amendments to mandatory instruments made at MSC.85

The following main amendments were adopted by MSC.85 in December 2008: - Adoption of the 2008 IS Code (International Code on Intact Stability) and making part A mandatory under SOLAS and 1988 LL Protocol. - Adoption of the IMSBC Code (International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code) superseding the BC Code and making it mandatory under SOLAS -Amendments to SOLAS, 1988 Load Lines Protocol, 2000 HSC Code, LSA Code, ISM Code, Res. MSC.81(70)

In the following tables A, B and C amendments/ regulations are listed by the entry into force dates starting from 2005-01-01. Conventions/amendments previously adopted starting with SOLAS 1948 can be found in the IMO Amendments 1952-2007 (final Info Note No.9). This will help keeping track of which requirements were applicable when an existing ship was built, and also which later requirements have been given retroactive force. This provides useful information for surveyors, yards and owners. Table A applies to cargo ships, Table B to passenger ships and Table C to high speed crafts/ dynamically supported crafts. Please note that the most common acceptance procedure for amendments to IMO conventions is the so called tacit acceptance procedure. This means that when an amendment has been adopted by an expanded committee (MSC or MEPC), the committee also decides on a certain final date for member governments to object to the respective amendments. Unless a certain number of members representing a certain percentage of the world fleet tonnage have objected within that date, the amendment will enter into force after an agreed time period (e.g. 6 months) has elapsed. Until the final date for objections has been passed, the entry into force date in Tables A, B and C will appear as Expected:. An amendment must be approved by a preceding expanded committee before it can be adopted. When an entry into force date appears as Proposed: in the tables, it means that the respective amendment has been approved but not adopted yet.

Parts B and B-1 have been revised and replaced by B, B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4. Common damage stability requirements for passenger and cargo ships have been introduced based on an update of the probabilistic method previously used for cargo ships. Ships shall be as efficiently subdivided as is possible having regard to the nature of the service for which they are intended. The degree of subdivision shall vary with the subdivision length (Ls) of the ship and with the service, in such manner that the highest degree of subdivison corresponds with the ships of greatest subdivison length (Ls), primarily engaged in the carriage of passengers. Other major features in the regulations are: - Prescriptive bottom damage requirements introduced. - Margin line concept replaced with extended requirements on watertight integrity and evacuation - Minimum survival index introduced for each draught. - Improved editorial separation of design requirements and operational assumptions Previous Reg.

Parts B and B-1 have been revised and replaced by B, B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-4. Common damage stability requirements for passenger and cargo ships have been introduced based on an update of the probabilistic method previously used for cargo ships. Ships shall be as efficiently subdivided as is possible having regard to the nature of the service for which they are intended. The degree of subdivision shall vary with the subdivision length (Ls) of the ship and with the service, in such manner that the highest degree of subdivison corresponds with the ships of greatest subdivison length (Ls), primarily engaged in the carriage of passengers. Other major features in the regulations are: - Prescriptive bottom damage requirements introduced. - Margin line concept replaced with extended requirements on watertight integrity and evacuation - Minimum survival index introduced for each draught. - Improved editorial separation of design requirements and operational assumptions. Subdivision load lines to be marked with P1, P2, etc. instead of C.1, C.2, etc. as previously. P1 for the required subdivision index R with the highest value. Previous Reg. II-1/21 renumbered as II-1/35-1 and formula for calculating bilge pump numeral (previously called criterion numeral) imported from Reg. II-1/6.3. Reference to II-1/21 changed to II-1/35-1.
