That Maritime Safety Authority accepts the intent of this recommendation for a review of our internal procedures for distribution of IMO circulars. It is our view that documentation of receipt of IMO circulars should be achieved during the routine ISM audit process on board, thereby ensuring that the intended recipient, i.e. the vessel’s Master, has received the required information, rather than the company only.
