The ISM Code has been tout-
ed one of the most important mea-
sures to be adopted by IMO during
the last few years because it is
designed to ensure that shipown-
ers make safety a priority.
However, some shipowners have
objected with complaints of over-
regulation, and it has become clear
that only a small percentage of
shipowners currently comply with
the ISM Code and has been specu-
lation that some companies will
miss the July 1 deadline.
"There has been some talk
recently about the difficulties sec-
tions of the industry are likely to
encounter if they fail to meet the
deadline and the possibility of
extending it," O'Neil said. "But
those who do so are simply wasting
time. Instead of hoping for an
extension, which will not be grant-

ately to ensure that they comply
with ISM requirements. If they

deadline."

Sun Expects Savings In
Move From Maritime
Sun Transport expects savings
equaling $30 million from the dis-
posal of its remaining shipping
fleet to Maritrans.
"We expect to see some savings
from getting out of the maritime
business and instead buying in
those specialist services," a Sun
spokesman said. "What we need is
for our petroleum products to be
moved. We do not need to be the
mover."
Maritrans will acquire the
34,000-dwt petroleum product
tankers Philadelphia Sun and
New York Sun and two tug/oil
products barge combinations. Sunl
said it had agreed long-term con-J
tracts for the future operation of
the assets being sold. The two J
tug/barge combinations will con-
tinue to operate between Sun'sl
Puerto Rico refinery and otherj
parts of the island.
In June, Sun Transport sold itsl
3,550-dwt tanker Eastern Sun tol
John W. Stone, and four tug/bargel
combinations to LeeVac Corp.]
Terms for either deal were not dis-
closed.
