INTERNATIONAL MARITIME

The prime global authority is the International Maritime Organisation. The IMO sets the standards and guidelines for the removal of offshore installations. The guidelines specify that installations in less than 75 meters of water with substructures weighing less than 4,000 tons be completely removed from the site. Those in deeper water must be removed to a depth of 55 meters below the surface so that there is no hazard to navigation. In some countries the depth to which structures have to be removed has already been extended to 100m. 

In order to maintain Class and to comply with international legislation a ship must undergo surveys at prescribed intervals. Ships such as tankers and bulk carriers must comply with International Maritime Organisation resolutions which require a Class Enhanced Survey Programme. This programme includes Special Surveys at five yearly intervals with close-up visual inspection and thickness measurements to be made at specified locations, the number of which increases with the age of the ship.

In comparison, HBI is almost twice as dense as DRI, and thus does not absorb as much water and is much more resistant to reoxidation and corrosion. Several methods of passivating DRI to make it more resistant to reoxidation and corrosion have been developed, but none has been as effective as hot briquetting. Guidelines for offshore shipping of peUet/lump DRI and HBI have been prepared by the International Maritime Organization. 

The U.S. domestic shipping name of isopropyl alcohol is UN No. 1219 Isopropanol. Anhydrous as well as water solutions to 91 vol % alcohol are considered flammable Hquid materials by the DOT. Both have flash poiats below 37.8°C by the Tag closed-cup method. Acceptable modes of transportation include air, rail, road, and water (124). For international air and water shipments, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) class is 3.2, the packaging group is II, and the primary hazard label required is "Flammable Liquid."...

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) published a standard in 1984 for the design, testing and locating of deflagration and detonation flame arresters and high velocity vent valves for cargo tanks in tanker ships (IMO 1984). This was amended in 1988 and reissued as Revision I (IMO 1988). A new revised standard was issued in 1994 (IMO 1994). 

Flame arresters meeting this specification also comply with the mini-mnm reqnirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Maritime Safety Committee Circnlar No. 373 (MSC/Circ. 373/Rev. 1). This specification is not widely nsed in the US chemical indnstry (Pietrowski 2000). 

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has issued a series of rules to tanker designers in an attempt to minimize the outflow of oil after accidental side or bottom damage. New tankers arc required to have double hulls or other structural innovations to minimize tanker spills.

In October 2001, the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted the International Anti-Fouling Systems Convention (IMO, 2001). According to the convention, application of TBT-based AF paints is banned from 1 Jan 2003. Use of TBT-based AF paint is banned from 1 Jan 2008.
