在2011孟买恐怖袭击之后,印度航运总局(DGS)禁止在印度水域使用“欧星舒拉亚 (Thuraya),美国铱星(iridium)及其他类似卫星电话”。

当禁令生效时,消息已经广泛传播,当地代理也提醒到达印度港口的船只注意。然而,船员持续因违反DGS circular 02/2012遭到印度当局处罚。

Ban on use of satellite phones in India: 6 years on and violations still occur

Following the Mumbai terror attacks in 2011, the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS)in India banned the use of “Thuraya, Iridium and other such satellite phones” in Indian waters.

At the time of its entry into force, the information was distributed extensively and local agents also bring it to the attention of vessels arriving in Indian ports. However, crew members continue to be penalized by Indian authorities for violating DGS circular 02/2012.

IMSBC规则》修正案将于201911日生效。本文中,Brookes Bell LLPPenelope Cooke解释了即将生效的修正案会对载运煤类货物的船舶产生何等影响。有关《IMSBC规则》修正案的全部详情,请参阅国际海事组织MSC.426(98)号决议。

 

《国际海运固体散货(IMSBC)规则》中,将煤描述为一种由非晶形碳和碳氢化合物组成的天然固体可燃物质。尽管煤以易燃性和自热性闻名,然而某些煤类货物也有易于液化的特点。所有煤类货物都具有B组化学特性,例如可能发生自热或排放甲烷;除此之外,即将生效的《IMSBC规则》修正案中提到了煤类货物被认定为A组(即易于液化)的标准。因此,煤类货物有可能需要取得与其他A组货物(例如精矿、镍矿石和铁矿粉)相同的TML证书和含水量证书。
