Semua pengguna jasa SKI

Update Regulasi IMO

12 Januari 2016

Tujuan dari Informasi Teknik ini adalah untuk menginformasikan kepada pelanggan SKI terkait dengan perubahan dan aturan terbaru IMO yang di adopsi oleh IMO.

Informasi

Menyusul sejumlah resolusi yang diadopsi pad a beberapa pertemuan IMO, SKI percaya bahwa penyebaran informasi tersebut secara dini akan memberikan keuntungan kepada pengguna jasa dalam hal waktu persiapan yang cukup untuk mengantisipasinya.

Oleh karena itu, SKI telah menyusun tabel Selected Updates on IMO Regulations dengan mengacu pada pertemuan IMO antara lain:
