International
Written By Mia Mattingly

Georgia, Greece, Japan, Liberia, Malta, Nigeria, Palau, Singapore, Switzerland, ICS, BIMCO, CLIA, IMCA, INTERCARGO, INTERFERRY, INTERTANKO, IPTA and WSC submit proposed Draft Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, for the establishment of the International Maritime Research and Development Board (IMRB) and the IMO Maritime Research Fund (IMRF). The proposal is supported by an impact assessment (76/7/8) produced with the assistance of Clarksons Research, which conclusively confirms that the IMRB proposal will have no disproportionately negative impact on States, including LDCs and SIDS, and States that are geographically distant from their markets.
