IMO对气体燃料船舶实施新规则

IMO to Adopt New Code for Gas-Fuelled Ships

The International Maritime organization’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC), which meets at the IMO’s London headquarters for its 95th session from 3 to 12 June 2015, is expected to adopt a new mandatory code for gas-fuelled ships.

The adoption will include the draft International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code), along with draft amendments to make the Code mandatory under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).

The move comes as use of gas becomes ever more frequent, resulting in the need to address safety challenges arising from using gas as fuel.

IMO对气体燃料船舶实施新规则

    2015年6月3日至12日在国际海事组织伦敦总部召开了第95届会议，国际海事组织海事安全委员会（MSC）预计将对气体燃料船舶实施新的强制性规则。   

    实施方案将包括国际使用气体或其他低闪点燃料船舶安全规则（IGF Code）草案和国际海上生命安全公约（SOLAS）基础下使规则具有强制性的草案修正案。

    目前气体燃料的使用日益频繁，这需要我们积极应对安全方面的挑战，而此举正能解决这个问题。
