First ILO is UN not UK.
Second both ABS and our company internal auditors are saying that this is going to impact us quite a but.
Third even if The US doesnt implement it it is going to be used the same way as STCW SOLAS and MARPOL. US vessels will still be subject to Flag Sate inspections in any port of any country that has ratified it. 30 countries have. Those flags contain approximately 60% of the world gross tonnage.
One way or the other this will impact the US fleet.
Thanks for your constructive argument
