3 BRIEF INFORMATION OF IMO MARITIME SAFETY COMMITTEE SESSION 96 (MSC 96) A. CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF AMENDMENTS TO MANDATORY INSTRUMENTS (AGENDA ITEM 3) Maritime Safety Committee 95 th session discussed and approved the following draft amendments to mandatory instruments: 1. SOLAS Chapter II-2 2. The International Code on the Enhanced Programme of Inspections during Surveys of Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers (ESP Code) The International Code for Fire Safety Systems (FSS Code) 4. The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) The Seafarers' Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Code 6. Code for the Construction And Equipment of Mobile Offshore Drilling Units 2009 (MODU Code 2009) 7. The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code 8. The International Code on Intact Stability, 2008 (IS Code 2008) Following the decision taken by MSC 95, the Committee established the Drafting Group to finalize the draft and submit the report accordingly. After the lengthy discussion, the Drafting Group finalized the draft amendments and approved by MSC 96. Following the approval, the amendments to mandatory instruments are adopted and expected to enter into force on 1 January However, the amendments to ESP Code, IMDG Code, STCW Convention and STCW Code are expected to enter into force on 1 January In addition to above amendments, the Committee also adopted the amendments to the following MSC Circulars to support the amendments to IMDG Code: 1. MSC/Circ.1025 (Revised Emergency Response Procedures for Ships Carrying Dangerous Goods (EmS Guide)) 2. MSC.1/Circ.1442 (Inspection programmes for cargo transport units carrying dangerous goods) B. MEASURES TO ENHANCE MARITIME SECURITY (AGENDA ITEM 4) Maritime Cybersecurity MSC 94 had considered issue on maritime cybersecurity and the importance for ships in preparing for cyberthreat. Following discussions made during MSC 95, The Committee reaffirmed that cybersecurity was an important and timely issue. MSC 95 therefore welcomed Member States, international organizations, and industry to cooperate in developing the guidelines on cybersecurity on board ships, with expectation to be submitted to FAL 40 and MSC 96. In MSC 96, industry represented by ICS, IUMI, BIMCO, INTERTANKO, CLIA and INTERCARGO submit The Guidelines on cybersecurity on board ships that were published in January 2016 with updated version 1.1. The Guidelines is specific for onboard ship application and intended to support shipowners in preparing procedures and plans of action pertaining to maritime cybersecurity with approach of risk Attachment of Technical Information No: Page 3 of 15

4 assessment. The full text of the Guidelines can be accessed through Several Member States also deposited their submission on the issue of maritime cybersecurity proposal and measures aimed at improving cybersecurity onboard ships. During the discussions in working group, it was agreed to use Guidelines for Cyber risk Management submitted by Canada, Japan, Liberia, the Marshall Islands, Norway and United States as the basis. MSC 96 finally approved Interim guidelines on maritime cyber risk management as MSC.1/Circ Guidance for the development of national maritime security legislation Since the implementation of ISPS Code on 1 July 2004, the challenges for enactment persist due to a number of aspects, among other things, the existence of comprehensive national legislation. In 2012, IMO published Guide to Maritime Security and the ISPS Code (GMSIC) to assist maritime security stakeholders. This Guide also reiterate the need to specify the powers needed for Government officials to undertake their duties, including the inspection and testing of security measures and procedures in place at ports and port facilities and on ships, and the application of enforcement actions to correct incidents of non-compliance. The Committee at this session approved the Guidance for the development of national maritime security legislation as MSC.1/Circ.1525, highlighting whilst the structure of the Guidance provides clear distinction between mandatory requirements and guidance, the Guidance itself has to keep its recommendatory nature. MSC 96 invited Member Governments willing to use the Guidelines for the development of their own national maritime security legislation, on their necessity to seek technical assistance from the Organization. C. GOAL BASED NEW SHIPS CONSTRUCTION STANDARD (AGENDA ITEM 5) GBS audit verification reports SOLAS Regulation II-1/3-10 as amended by MSC Resolution 290(87) requires oil tankers and bulk carriers that have building contract is placed on or after 1 July 2016, or in absence of building contract, the keels of which are laid or which at a similar stage of construction on or after 1 Juli 2017 or the delivery of which is on or after 1 July 2020 to be designed and constructed in compliance with GBS. This regulation requires the rules for construction to be verified by IMO in accordance with Guidelines for verification as in MSC Resolution 296(87). Since then, 12 Recognized Organization (RO) had been audited and reported to MSC 96 with following highlights: 1. From the 13 ROs which deposited application, one RO initiated to cancel its initial verification audit process. 2. The findings from the audit reveals 6 non-conformities and 88 observations. 3. The 12 ROs already submitted their rectification plan which will be started on 1 June 2016, and further will be reflected by amandments of their rules on December 2016 iwith expected enter into Attachment of Technical Information No: Page 4 of 15
