This document specifies the minimum information that should
be contained in an application for Basic or Final Approval in accordance
with paragraph 8 of Procedure (G9). It is structured based on the
"Methodology for information gathering and the conduct of work of
the GESAMP-BWWG" contained in document BWM.2/Circ.13/Rev.1.
The information should be presented in a clear and succinct
manner. Tables should be used wherever possible. If it is not possible
to submit the relevant information in the proposal for approval due
to page limits agreed for MEPC submissions, a separate information
document should be used that is submitted at the same time.
