MEPC.1/Circ.897
13 December 2021
CROSS-REFERENCE TABLES FOR AMENDMENTS TO MARPOL ANNEX VI (2021
REVISED MARPOL ANNEX VI)
1 The Marine
Environment Protection Committee, at its seventy-sixth session (10 to 17 June
2021), considered the draft amendments to MARPOL Annex VI concerning mandatory goal-based
technical and operational measures to reduce carbon intensity of international
shipping and exemption of unmanned non-self-propelled (UNSP) barges from
certain survey and certification requirements, which were circulated in
Circular Letter No.4350 (annex 3) on 20 December 2020, in accordance with
article 16(2)(a) of MARPOL.
2 Following
consideration of the draft amendments, MEPC 76 adopted resolution MEPC.328(76) on
the Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI (2021 Revised MARPOL Annex VI).
3 In view of the
significant renumbering of regulations and paragraphs in the 2021 Revised
MARPOL Annex VI, the Marine Environment Protection Committee, at its
seventy-seventh session (22 to 26 November 2021), approved the attached
circular, which provides, for ease of reference by all users, cross-referencing
tables between the 2021 Revised MARPOL Annex VI and the previous MARPOL Annex
VI*.
_____________
* This circular is to be
applied from 1 November 2022 when the 2021 Revised MARPOL Annex VI enters into
force and "previous MARPOL Annex VI" refers to MARPOL Annex VI which
was in force before that date.
4 Tables
"A" and "B" provide the correlation between the paragraph
numbers in regulation 2 (Definitions) of the previous version of MARPOL Annex
VI and their corresponding paragraph numbers under the 2021 Revised
MARPOL Annex VI, while table "C" illustrates the correlation between
both versions of regulation numbers in chapters 4 and 5.
5 Member Governments
are invited to disseminate this circular to their maritime Administration
officials, industry and interested organizations with the aim of facilitating
the smooth implementation of the 2021 Revised MARPOL Annex VI.
