The IMO-Vega DATABASE, Version 14 (2009)

IMO-Vega is an essential tool for anyone involved in shipping: shipowners and operators, shipbuilders, classification societies, casualty investigators, governments, insurers and underwriters, port authorities, surveyors and many others.

The IMO-Vega Database, developed jointly by IMO and Det Norske Veritas (DNV), puts all the necessary information at your fingertips. Given year of build, ship type, ship size, cargo, trade area and flag, IMO-Vega will quickly identify the requirements applicable to the ship in question.

Unlike other, similar products, IMO-Vega contains historical data – including regulations which have been superseded. In the context of Port State Control, for example, access to the correct historical regulations is essential.

Version 14.0 of IMO-Vega includes up-to-date texts, with all amendments adopted up to September 2009, of the following IMO requirements:

1974 SOLAS Convention, including 1978 and 1988 Protocols and all amendments

1966 Load Lines Convention, including the 1988 and 2003 Protocols

MARPOL 73/78, including all amendments

Whereas only the most known requirements are listed above, the database also contains best safety-related documents issued by IMO, such as circulars, resolutions, etc.

Training of shore-side staff involved in the transport of dangerous goods by sea became mandatory from 1 January 2010 with the implementation of Amendment 34-08 of the IMDG Code. An e-learning course (computer-based training) is available online to help shippers, forwarders, shipping line booking staff, agents, container consolidators and packers comply with this requirement.

The objective of the course is to train shore-side personnel in the provisions of the IMDG Code to enable them to safely and efficiently perform their role in the transport of dangerous goods by sea. It is an interactive e-learning course that is downloaded from the website www.imdge-learning.com and activated with a code that can also be purchased through IMO distributors or online. During 2010 a web-based version will be available.

Each course can be configured according to the job functions specified in IMDG Code 1.3.1.5. There is also a general awareness option for staff not directly involved in operations involving dangerous goods. There are tests taken at the end of each element (lesson) of the course and the average of these scores is shown in a final course completion certificate. IMDG Code e-learning is certified by Classification Society Det Norske Veritas against the international DNV Standard for Certification of Learning Programmes.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted human element principles which, inter alia, require that future rules and regulations addressing seafarers directly are simple, clear and comprehensive.

Recognizing that many of the existing rules and regulations often mix requirements that apply to shipowners, seafarers, maritime administrations and others, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) made funds available for the development of a comprehensive Manual on operational requirements for seafarers based on current IMO international conventions, related Codes and Assembly resolutions.

The Manual is comprised of an operations index that provides easy access to compendia of extracts of the texts of IMO operational requirements of direct relevance to seafarers. The compendia also include additional information extracted from IMO instruments that may assist seafarers in their work. The compendia are fully referenced to the relevant IMO instruments to facilitate further research, if required.

The extracts in the compendia forming this version of the Manual are from IMO instruments in force at the end of 2001.
