The crew should be aware of the dangers of asbestos and should know how to deal with asbestos in case disturbance of the ACMs cannot be avoidedfootnote.

  5 Since 1 July 2002, new installation of ACMs on board all ships has been allowed only in exceptional cases.

  6 From 1 January 2011, new installation of ACMs on board all ships will, without exception, no longer be allowed.
