IMO Approves IGF Code

IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee approved, in principle, the draft International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code), and also approved proposed amendments to make the Code mandatory under Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), with plans to adopt both at the next MSC session scheduled for June 2015.

The IGF Code will provide mandatory provisions for the arrangement, installation, control and monitoring of machinery, equipment and systems using low-flashpoint fuels, focusing initially on liquefied natural gas (LNG), to minimize the risk to the ship, its crew and the environment, having regard to the nature of the fuels involved.

IMO批准IGF规则

    国际海事组织海事安全委员会在原则上批准了船舶使用气体或低闪点燃料的国际安全规则（IGF 规则）草案，并批准了拟议的修正案在海上人命安全公约（SOLAS)下强制实施，并计划在2015年6月举办的MSC会议上同时采纳IGF规则及其修正案。

    IGF规则将对使用低闪点燃料的机器，设备和系统的安排、安装、控制及检测提出强制规定。考虑到燃料的性质，最先受到管制的是液化天然气（LNG）动力船舶，以最大程度地降低对船舶、船员和环境的危害。
