Tokyo MOU is to conduct PSC Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) on ISM Code.

Purpose : To verify the effective implementation of SMS on board ships.
Campaign period : From 1 September to 30 November 2007

Attached for your information a copy of the following documents ClassNK received, which we believe would be useful for you to check the effective implementation of SMS on board ships under your management.
(1) "Sample of questionnaire" to be used during the Concentrated Inspection Campaign
(2) "Explanatory notes to the questionnaire".
(3) "Circular letter from Hong Kong Marine Department"
Managing company is requested to distribute this document to all Hong Kong ships and to prepare for the CIC in good time. Particular attention should be paid to the 10 deficiencies specified in the Circular that will be considered as major non-conformity. It should also be noted that other MOUs including Paris MOU and USCG may also join the campaign.
