Marpol/Solas Compliance Subject Of 60-Page Book Offered By Intertanko Guidance for owners on compli- ance with the International Con- vention for the Prevention of Ma- rine Polution (MARPOL), 1973/78, which enters into force October 2, 1983, has been issued by the Inter- national Association of Independ- ent Tanker Owners (Inter- tanko). This new guide—also covering SOLAS 1978—deals with require- ments for upgrading existing tankers. In addition, it examines the impact on operational proce- dures and reviews commercial implications. While some tanker owners may have postponed preparations for compliance, Intertanko also points out that some Administrations also seem to have started rather late in establishing new approval/certifi- cation procedures. Questions raised in order to achieve compliance are explained in the guide. These include: Crude oil washing; Inert gas systems; Oily water monitoring; Port state control; Reception facilities; Com- mercial considerations, and others. Copies of the guide, "1983—the Year of Implementation—MAR- POL/SOLAS," are available from: Intertanko, PO Box 1452 Vika. Radhusgaten 25. Oslo 1. Norway.
