The Conference recommends:
(1) that Governments should accept the International
Convention on Load Lines, 1966, at as early a date as possible and
that the Governments which become Parties to that Convention should
denounce the International Convention respecting Load Lines, 1930,
and should co-operate with one another with a view to ensuring that
their respective denunciations become effective on a date two years
after the date on which the 1966 Convention comes into force;
(2) that Governments denouncing the 1930 Convention
should bear in mind the provisions of the 1966 Convention relating
to existing ships, in particular Article
4 (4).
