Voluntary Compliance With International Sewage Regulations in Annex IV to MARPOL 73/78
The U.S. Coast Guard announces the availability of Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) No. 1-09, which provides guidance on voluntary compliance with MARPOL Annex IV.

Material Safety Data Sheet Requirement in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea
In the interest of providing seafarers with clear, concise, and accurate information on the health effects of certain toxic substances, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) recently amended the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, to require Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for ships carrying oil or oil fuel as defined in regulation 1 of Annex I of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL). Once accepted by member States in accordance with Article VIII of SOLAS, and effective January 1, 2011, SOLAS will require that each ship subject to SOLAS and carrying oil or oil fuel as defined in MARPOL must be provided with MSDSs prior to loading such oil as cargo in bulk or oil fuel.
