Circular

  1 MEPC 51 (29 March to 2 April 2004) agreed that the current resolutions, guidelines and circulars associated with the existing MARPOL Annex I should not be revised with the sole purpose of bringing cross-references in line with the new regulation numbering system under the revised Annex I. In addition, MEPC 51 decided that they should only be revised if they contained outdated provisions which need to be updated as a result of amendments to Annex I, or which need adaptation to technical progress (MEPC 51/22, paragraphs 12.9, 12.9.1 and 12.9.2).

  2 MEPC 51 further agreed to instruct the Secretariat to prepare a draft MEPC circular, providing suitable tables with the cross-references between the "old" and "new" regulations of MARPOL Annex I, and vice versa (MEPC 51/22, paragraph 12.9.3) for ease of reference by all users of MARPOL Annex I.

  3 MEPC 52 (11 to 15 October 2004) considered and approved the MEPC circular, attached at annex, which contains the cross-reference tables. Table "A" provides the correlation between the numbers of regulations in the existing Annex I and their corresponding numbers under the revised Annex I. Table "B", on the other hand, provides the same correlation but from the revised Annex I to the existing Annex I.

  4 Member Governments are invited to disseminate the MEPC circular to their maritime Administration officials, industry and interested organizations with the aim of facilitating the smooth implementation of the revised MARPOL Annex I.
