国际海事组织在燃油质量控制方面朝正确方向迈进

Quality control of bunkers – IMO takes a step in the right direction

The International Maritime organization (IMO) has agreed to consider introducing measures to improve controls of bunkers delivered to ships. After six submissions to the IMO over four years, to which INTERTANKO made a major contribution, persistence with another submission has resulted in progress to assure the quality of fuel delivered to ships.

A correspondence group will develop guidelines for states to ensure fuel quality compliance with MARPOL Annex VI. It will also consider the adequacy of the current legal framework for assuring the quality of fuel.

国际海事组织在燃油质量控制方面朝正确方向迈进

国际海事组织（IMO）已经同意考虑引入措施来改善对船舶燃油的质量控制。国际独立油轮船东协会（INTERTANKO）在4年间6次向IMO提交意见，这6次意见连同另外1次意见最终促使船舶燃油在质量保障方面迈出了一大步，其中INTERTANKO功不可没。 

       IMO的联络小组将为各国编写指南来确保燃油质量符合防污公约附件VI，其还将考虑现行法律框架的妥善性来确保燃油的质量。
