Marpol 73/78 : Consolidated edition, 2006. (IMO-IC520E). Language(s): E,F,S,R,A. This publication is alsoavailable on CD-ROM (Version 3.0)The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relatingthereto (better known as MARPOL 73/78), is one of the most important international agreements on the subject of marine

pollution. The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, widely known as the MARPOL

Convention, was adopted in 1973. Its technical content is laid out in six Annexes, the first five of which were adopted by the1973 Convention and a 1978 Protocol. These cover pollution of the sea by oil, by noxious liquid substances in bulk, by

harmful substances carried by sea in packaged form, by sewage from ships and by garbage from ships. Annex VI was adoptedby a further Protocol in 1997; it covers air pollution from ships. This consolidated edition includes the texts of the Conventionand its Protocols, Annexes I to VI, Unified Interpretations agreed with the International Association of Classification Societies,

and prospective amendments to Annexes I and IV. The text includes all amendments in force as of 22 November 2006 and therevised texts of Annexes I and II (adopted in October 2004), which will enter into force on 1 January 2007

Guidelines on the enhanced programme of inspections during surveys on bulk carriers and oil tankers. 2008Edition (IMO-IA265E) The Guidelines became mandatory in 1996, under SOLAS regulation XI/2, which requires that bulk carriers and oil tankers be

subject to an enhanced programme of inspections in accordance with the Guidelines. Since their adoption, the Guidelines havebeen frequently updated and brought in line with regulatory and technological developments as well as with current practice, inparticular with the relevant IACS Unified Requirements.
