  1 The Marine Environment Protection Committee, at its fifty-eighth session (6 to 10 October 2008), approved the 2008 Revised Guidelines for systems for handling oily wastes in machinery spaces of ships incorporating Guidance notes for an integrated bilge water treatment system (IBTS) (MEPC.1/Circ.642).

  2 MEPC 59 (13 to 20 July 2009) approved an amendment to MEPC.1/Circ.642 (MEPC.1/Circ.676), which is consequential to the amendment to regulation 12.2.2 of MARPOL Annex I which it adopted at the same session and which entered into force on 1 January 2011.

  3 MEPC 62 (11 to 15 July 2011), recognizing that a positive measure to prevent pollution resulting from oily bilge water is the installation of IBTS in accordance with the 2008 revised Guidelines and that uniform implementation of those Guidelines is desired for proper promotion of IBTS, agreed to the amendments to the 2008 revised Guidelines, set out in the annex, providing for the inclusion of a format of Statement of Fact on installation of an IBTS (MEPC 62/24, paragraph 11.16).

  4 Member Governments are invited to bring this circular to the attention of all parties concerned and recommend them to apply the 2008 revised Guidelines, as amended, including the use of the format of Statement of Fact on a voluntary basis for ships installed with IBTS which is in accordance with the Guidelines.
