1 The Marine Environment Protection Committee,
at its sixty-second session (11 to 15 July 2011), agreed that future
Unified Interpretations (UIs) to regulations under MARPOL Annexes
should be circulated by MEPC circulars, and as annexes to the Committee's
reports. The Committee also agreed to issue a circular with a list
of UIs of the MARPOL Convention adopted since MEPC 45, with a view
to facilitating their dissemination (MEPC 62/24, paragraph 7.27).
2 Member Governments are invited to use the Unified
Interpretations (UIs) listed in the annex when applying the relevant
provisions of MARPOL Convention and to bring it to the attention of
all parties concerned.
