IMO appeals for input on compliance costs in 6-month consultation period THE UN's International Maritime Organisation started a six-month consultation period on May 7 in which it will seek input on compliance costs arising from its rules and regulations.
The process is being carried out through a website, accessible via the IMO website (http://www.imo.org/OurWork/rab), which outlines how one can be consulted, involving filling out a questionnaire.
"There has long been a feeling in the industry that there is too much wasted paperwork. This is the start of our efforts to tackle that problem. I would urge as many people as possible to take part in this consultation, as only with a strong set of data can we meaningfully identify where changes may be necessary," said IMO secretary general Koji Sekimizu.
