7. ESTABLISHMENT OF SC11
・8 N 939 Technical Management Board Resolution 61/1999
The Chairman explained the details of the necessity to establish the Subcommittee 11 during and after the TC8/AG Meeting held in Galati in Romania and specifically the ratification of the ISO/TMB with respect to the establishment of the Subcommittee 11 based on 8N 939.
Mr.J.van Elk expressed that there was less correspondence about the establishment of SC11 and supposed that the O members in TC8 were not informed of this.
The Chairman explained for the questions about the relationship between the scopes of SC11 and SC7 that the ships operating solely in inland waters are covered by SC7, but the ships operating from inland waters to sea are not covered in SC7. Newly established SC11 covers both sides so in order to avoid the duplication work, some coordination and liaisons between SC7 and SC11 should be taken in the future work. The following resolution was adopted:
Resolution 177
