Regulations of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention and Control of Marine Pollution from Ships

Wednesday, 1st September 2010

This circular informs Members of the further postponement of the additional rules in the PRC detailing the standards and criteria that approved spill responders must adhere to, including information on the standard contractual terms under which they will operate. The circular refers Members to the previous IG recommendation not to enter into contractual arrangements with a spill response organisation for the purposes of ensuring compliance with the Regulations until such further rules have been issued by the PRC’s MSA. Moreover, even then it is recommended that Members discuss matters with their Club before entering into any such contracts.
