Introduction to Singaporean requirements/interpretations.

水平

When found relevant for input in the specific catalogue in IMO-Vega for Panamanian requirements / interpretations to an international instrument - and of technical and operational character, the origin, e.g. Merchant Shipping Regulations, Marine Notices, Circulars etc. is stated in the top of the document, if the origin is known. There might be some occasions of previous (older) requirements with unknown origin.

Whether the origin is linked to, or an extract has been created, depends on the type of the origin, i.e. if the clue of the requirements / interpretations can be extracted, and this extract is found reasonable.

It is emphasised that that this collection of flag state requirements should be regarded as selections with the basis of the catalogues as presented for this flag state here in IMO-Vega (the main safety - and environmental conventions related to the ships, and that several other safety messages as presented on the flag states web-site, in the form of e.g. circulars, guidelines, notes etc. have not been presented in this database.

Likewise IMO circulars as reported from the flag administrations, e.g. SLS.14/Circs (SOLAS 1974 Equivalent arrangements accepted) are, except for some few editions, not inserted or referred to in IMO-Vega. These circulars as well as some other circulars of reporting character from some flag administrations (e.g. FAL2 Circs, SN.1 Circs, MEPC.1/Circs.) are generally not included or referred to in IMO-Vega.

To see these circulars, go to IMO Web site http://www.imo.org. Then select "Circulars".
