IMO沿岸国油污应急联系表更新以及SOPEP/SMPEP年度回顾

国际海事组织(IMO)发布了日期为2020年10月31日的更新的《沿岸国油污应急联系表》。请确保及时更新您船上的SOPEP或SMPEP上的联系表。

正如我们之前在《法规动态07-2017》中所述,沿岸国油污应急联系表之前被命名为“Annex 2”,而现在被改名为“Annex”。 之前的Annex 1载有船旗国联络站的通讯方式,可提供有关PSC事宜、伤亡事故调查服务及船舶检验服务。但是MSC-MEPC.6通函已不再包含Annex 1内容。不过,现在可以登录 IMO网站的全球综合航运信息系统(GISIS)查询Annex 1。您需要注册、登录名以及密码才能访问该信息。船东和运营公司应确保其船长可以访问此信息。

SOPEP/SMPEP年度回顾提示:

我们也借此机会提醒您,船东/运营公司必须定期或至少每年对SOPEP或SMPEP进行审核,以了解当地法律或政策、联系人姓名和电话号码、船舶特征或公司政策的变化,并且必须按照ISM规则第11章的规定,将其记录在计划持有人的SMS中。为避免在港口国检查过程中出现任何问题,建议船长对SOPEP或SMPEP进行年度审查,作为SMS文件年度审核的一部分,并签发/签署确认该手册,留船存档。如果ECM为您的船舶准备了SOPEP或SMPEP,我们要求您转发对船上副本所做的任何更改的详细信息,以确保及时将这些更改纳入计划中。请注意,对计划中强制性部分所做的任何更改都将需要获得船旗国政府的批准,这可能会需要您支付船旗国的计划审查费。

一如既往,如您有任何疑问,请联系 ecm@ecmmaritime.com 。 

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) issued an updatedLIST OF NATIONAL OPERATIONAL CONTACT POINTS dated October 31st, 2020, copy attached. Please ensure that your SOPEP or SMPEP on board your vessels is duly updated with the current list.

As we previously noted in our Client Alert 07-2017, the LIST OF NATIONAL OPERATIONAL CONTACT POINTS is now named “Annex” instead of “Annex 2”. The former Annex 1 that provides access to the FLAG STATE CONTACT POINTS FOR PSC MATTERS,CASUALTY INVESTIGATION SERVICES AND SHIP’S INSPECTION SERVICES is no longer provided as part of the MSC-MEPC.6 circular but is now available through the Global Integrated Shipping Information System (GISIS) on the IMO’s website. A registration, login and password are required to access the information. Owners and operators should ensure their Masters have access to this information. 

SOPEP/SMPEP Annual Review Reminder:

We also take this opportunity to remind you that the SOPEP or SMPEP, as applicable, must be reviewed periodically or at least annually by the owner/operator, to capture changes in local law or policy, contact names and numbers, ship characteristics or company policy, and must be documented in the plan holder’s SMS, in accordance with the ISM code, Chapter 11. To avoid any issues during Port State Control inspections, it is recommended that the Master conduct an annual review of the SOPEP or SMPEP as part of the annual SMS documentation review of manuals and issue/sign a document confirming the same, for the vessel’s records. If ECM prepared the SOPEP or SMPEP for your vessels, we ask that you forward details of any changes made to shipboard copies to ensure such changes are incorporated in the plan in a timely manner. Please note that any changes to the mandatory sections of the plan will require flag administration approval, which may result in a plan review fee by the Flag State that will be charged to your account.

As always, please contact ECM at ecm@ecmmaritime.com with any questions.
