Proposed amendments Part
A, Section 1.D
Australia proposes the following:
|
In the paragraph (not numbered) following
Section 1.D, which commences
"If a ship
cannot conduct any of
the ballast water
management options set
forth above due to
conditions set forth
in Regulation 4(4)",
reference to Regulation
4(4) should be
removed as it could indicate
that exchange
cannot be undertaken
under 4(4) and is
therefore confusing.
The words "due to
any exceptions set forth
in this Annex"
would be more suitable.29 |
Hong Kong, China proposes:
Last paragraph of Part A. Section
I is amended as
follows for editorial improvement:"If
a ship
cannot ...... set forth in Reg.4(4)[4.5],
the ship shall only discharge
the minimum
......".
