IMO做出让步，允许成立低硫燃油责任讨论组

IMO relents, allows discussion group on low-sulphur bunker liability

THE UN's International Maritime organisation (IMO) has relented to allow a discussion group before fixing details of bunker supply rightS and responsibilities in supplying costly low sulphur fuel.

"The compromise solution on ensuring bunker quality agreed at IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) has been welcomed by the International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA)," said the group's communique.

THE IBIA submission on sulphur compliance problems and quality control called for practical measures from the IMO - including a licensing scheme and for Bunker Delivery Notes (BDN).

While nothing was conceded on those points, IMO committee agreed to establish a "correspondence group" on the adequacy of the current legal framework.

IMO做出让步，允许成立低硫燃油责任讨论组

国际海事组织（IMO）做出让步，在高价低硫燃油供应的权利和责任的明确细节出台之前先成立讨论组。 

"IMO下海洋环境保护委员会（MEPC）通过的保障燃油质量的妥协解决方案受到了国际燃油行业协会（IBIA）的欢迎，"该组织的公报中说。 

IBIA在硫合规问题和质量控制上提交的报告要求IMO采取切实措施--包括许可计划和船上燃料油供应簿（BDN）。 

   虽然上述消息还未得到确认，IMO委员会还是同意在当前法律框架充足的基础上建立"联络小组"。
