These Regulations amend the Merchant Shipping (IBC Code) Regulations 1987.
They bring into effect amendments which have been adopted by the Maritime Safety Committee and the Marine Environment Protection Committee of the International Maritime Organization. The adopted amendments rationalise and add to the lists of substances appended to Annex II of MARPOL 73/78 with some changes of categorisation. Additional substances have been added to Chapters 17 and 18 of the IBC Code largely from pollution aspects and there has been some change in existing categorisation and some editorial amendment. A 1990 edition of the IBC Code has been produced.
Copies of the Code and MARPOL Amendments are obtainable from the International Maritime Organisation, 4 Albert Embankment, London SE1 7SR.
