Interpretation:
5.1 Section 2.3 of the Supplement ("as documented by bunker delivery notes")
allows for an "x" to be entered in advance of the dates indicated in all of the relevant
check boxes recognizing that the bunker delivery notes, required to be retained on board
for a minimum period of three years, provide the subsequent means to check that a ship is
actually operating in a manner consistent with the intent as given in section 2.3.
