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 - all ships applicable, easily understandable, readily updatable and uniformly enforced. It has been designed to become a global instrument known as the "fourth pillar" of the international regulatory regime for quality shipping, complementing the key Conventions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Source: ILO Ships shall be provided with a ship-specific emergency towing procedure. Such a procedure shall be carried aboard the ship - for cargo ships. for use in emergency situations and shall be based on existing arrangements and equipment available on board the ship. Ships carrying Dangerous Goods have to observe some amendments in Regulation 19, - all ships carrying e.g. issuance of new DOC for DG, Changes in DG Table 19.3 and other minor amendments. - all oil tankers of Every Oil Tanker of 150 gt and upwards has 150 gt upwards to hold a Ship-to-Ship Operations Plan, not later than the approved by the Administration. first survey after 1 January 2011 New definitions has been added for Oil Residue (Sludge), Oil Residue (Sludge) Tank, Oily Bilge Water and Oily Bilge Water Holding Tank. Further, prohibited pumping operations - all ships 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 - all ships carrying and becomes mandatory for all ships solid bulk cargoes carrying solid bulk cargoes 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.
