Specimen Manual

 This publication also contains, in Appendix 2 of the standard format, an example of the Manual developed in accordance with the standard format for an actual tanker.

 It should be noted in this connexion that:

  • (1) What is standardized is the type of information to be included in the Manual under each section and not its presentation.

  • (2) The specimen Manual shows how the information may be presented. Although some sections may be generally applicable to many ships, these are merely examples and should be treated as such.

 The attention of Governments is drawn to the recommendation made by the Assembly, inviting them to use the standard format when approving the Manual and to ensure that, if the language of the Manual is neither English nor French, the Manual should include a translation into one of those languages.
