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.
