Authorization of GL by Flag States

Maritime legislation covers technical and increasingly operational ship safety
standards as well as environmental and quality issues. All of these are subject to
permanent review and almost continuous amendment.
Particularly the International Maritime Organization, IMO, as the major international
body for the development of maritime regulations, but also institutions like the EU or
flag State Authorities, are constantly issuing a stream of new, altered or revised
mandatory requirements.
The obligation of shipowners and shipboard personnel to constantly familiarize
themselves and comply with international rules and regulations has gained even
greater significance with the introduction of the ISM Code.
Within this context Germanischer Lloyd assumes the role of mediator between its
clients and the regulatory authorities, providing consultation in technical matters
and up-to-date regulatory guidance and information.
Taking into account the increasing importance of regulations for education,
training and general working procedures on board, such operational requirements
have been highlighted in the tables by coloured frames in the first column.
The IMO Pilot has been developed by Germanischer Lloyd with the aim of providing
regulatory news in the most current state possible, hence also including legislation
that is still under consideration, but likely to be adopted in the near future.
One should always bear in mind that contents of the respective requirements are
provisional and might still be subject to change.
Special requirements of individual flag States have not been included in the IMO
Pilot as listing them with all their details would extend beyond the capabilities of this
medium as a quick reference tool.
These guidelines have been prepared using the best information currently available.
They are intended purely as guidance; their use is at the users own risk. No
responsibility is accepted by Germanischer Lloyd for any consequences whatsoever
resulting directly or indirectly from the use of this brochure.

Rules and Regulations Services
Rules and Regulations Services
Germanischer Lloyd as a ship classification society acting on behalf of more than
120 flag States has been directly involved in maritime rules and regulations for more
than 130 years. Through the development of classification rules as well as through
representation in over 100 international and national rule-making committees (from
IMO to ISO, from IACS to IEC) Germanischer Lloyd is in a position to offer to its
clients a wide range of services related to maritime rules and regulations.
Implementation Tools for National Requirements: Flag specific requirements
appli-cable to new and existing ships are continuously analyzed and included in specific
checklists.

Mandatory Requirements
Mandatory Requirements
The table lists new or amended IMO
instruments (conventions and other mandatory
instruments such as codes referred to in
conventions) in a chronological order –
starting 01.01.2000 – with respect to their
application dates.
If more than one instrument is affected on a
specific date the following
order is used:
SOLAS
Codes made mandatory
by SOLAS
MARPOL
STCW
Load Line Convention
Other instruments
The application dates stated in part I (finalized legislation) may still be subject
to confirmation under the tacit acceptance procedure. In such cases the
appli-cation dates are indicated as “expected” by the added entry “(exp)”. Recently,
IMO has made provisions for implementing legislation in advance of the official
entry into force date voluntarily of optionally. In such cases, the decision on the
application date is left to the flag state administration and both dates, the
ad-vanced and the official, are listed in the table, marked with an *, added by (vol.)
or (opt.) respectively.
In part II a selection of proposed legislation (not yet adopted by the appropriate
body or ratified by the required minimum number of administrations) is listed to
provide information on impending legislation at a stage as early as possible. In
such cases the entry for “application date” is “not known yet”, unless a
pro-posed application date is already stated in the relevant draft IMO instrument.
The operational requirements in the tables are marked by coloured frames
(Examples for operational requirements are training of crew, inspection
intervals, transport of special cargoes or documentation).
The entries in column “Subject/Extract” are restricted to a very brief summary
of the regulatory changes addressed. For complete information reference is to
be made to the relevant official IMO document, listed in the column “source”.
Amendments to IMO instruments are listed in the respective column with their
date of adoption. This allows easy reference to IMO publications in which the
same terminology is used to identify amendments. The bibliography section lists
these IMO publications including information on the amendments covered
therein.
It should always be kept in mind that any flag state may introduce additional
mandatory national requirements with its national legislation. By this,
interpre-tations and clarifications as listed in the respective section of this Pilot may

Comprehensive revision of the technical regulations of the 1966 Load Line convention, reflecting in particular interpretations developed since the original introduction of the ILLC 66. Substantial changes to the design loads for hatch covers (reg. 16) and to the minimum bow height (reg. 39)

his fleet. The last vessels of that type contracted in 2002 were
delivered only recently. Although the ordered tonnage, size and
equipment of the ships will be exactly the same as a year ago,
Rapid Yards will have to make sure that the drawings for the
newbuildings comply with the latest state of technical
regula-tions before they are submitted to GL for approval.
The task of ensuring compliance is assigned to the design
office, where the head of department checks with the “IMO
Pilot” the requirements that have to be observed for the
newbuildings, but were not relevant for the ships just
completed.
First he determines the respective keel-laying dates. This was
July 15
th, 2003 for the deliveries, while he estimates them to be
July 15
th, 2004 for the newbuildings. This leads to the following
conclusions:
ration in fulfilling Bulk Brothers’ latest order, so he can rely
on the old drawings in that respect.
b)
In addition, the newbuildings have to comply with those
requirements between nos. 128 and 178 (application dates
between July 15
th, 2003 and July 15
th, 2004), which are
relevant for the ship type “bulk carrier”. Changes relevant
only for existing ships (entry “E” in column “Application”)
can be ignored, same as solely operational requirements.
c)
Requirements with an application date after the keel-laying
date of the two new bulk carriers need not to be observed
(from no. 179). However, it is always advisable to check the
upcoming requirements for existing ships to decide whether
it makes sense to incorporate them in the newbuilding plans
ahead of time or to wait until they are due.
Now, the framework is defined and the design department starts
analyzing the requirements that contain technical details. If
entries are not self-explanatory, reference should be made to
the indicated “Source” and to the “Bibliography”
section of this Pilot to find the IMO publication that
contains the complete information. Further advice
may be found in the list of “Interpretations and
Clarifications”.
