Shipping Coordinating Committee, Marine Environment Protection
Committee and Associated Bodies; Notice of Meeting
The Shipping Coordinating Committee will conduct an open meeting at
9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 27, 1996, in Room 2415, at U.S. Coast
Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20593. The
purpose of the meeting is to prepare for discussions regarding the new
Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78) addressing the control of air
pollution from ships. These discussions will take place during the
Thirty-eighth session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee of
the International Maritime Organization (IMO) scheduled for July 01-10,
1996, at IMO Headquarters in London, England.
Among other things, items of particular interest are: application
of the new Annex; criteria and procedures for the establishment of
special areas to reduce sulphur oxide emissions; survey and
certification issues; reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions from marine
engines; shipboard incinerators; ozone depleting substances; fuel oil
quality; and volatile organic compound emissions during loading
operations. The U.S. Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Working Group
supports the U.S. Representative to the IMO Committee in developing the
U.S. position on those issues raised at the IMO Committee meetings.
Because of the impact on domestic regulations through development of
these international agreements, the U.S. SOLAS Working Group serves as
an excellent forum for the public to express their ideas. All members
of the maritime community are encouraged to send representatives to
participate in the development of U.S. positions on those issues
affecting your maritime industry and remain abreast of all activities
ongoing with the IMO.
Members of the public may attend this meeting up to the seating
capacity of the room. Interested persons may seek information by
writing: Mr. Wayne Lundy, U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Commandant (G-
MMS), 2100 Second Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20593-0001 or by
calling: (202) 267-2206.
Dated: February 14, 1996.
Charles A Mast,
Chairman, Shipping Coordinating Committee.
