Technical Notices

The Facilitation Committee, at its forty-first session, the Marine Environment Protection Committee, at its seventieth session, the Maritime Safety Committee, at its ninety-seventh session, and the Legal Committee, at its one hundred and fourth session, approved the List of certificates and documents required to be carried on board ships, 2017, as set out in the annex.

Since the issuance of FAL.2/Circ.127-MEPC/Circ.817-MSC/Circ.1462, several instruments addressed in that circular have been amended. New instruments have been added, including the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004 and Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks, 2007. Further, pursuant to a decision of the Legal Committee taken at its 103rd session, this document is now also a LEG circular.

This circular lists only the certificates and documents that are required under IMO instruments and it does not include certificates or documents required by other international organizations or governmental authorities.

Attached IMO circular supersedes FAL.2/Circ.127-MEPC/Circ.817-MSC/Circ.1462.
