IMO Offers Guidance on Implementation of ISPS

The IMO issued a Circular providing additional guidance relating to implementation of SOLAS Chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code. Among other things, the guidance provides recommendations for ships calling at a port of a State that is not a Contracting Government and reminds all parties that the requirement for ships to keep records of their last 10 calls at port facilities only applies to calls made on or after July 1, 2004.
