This is an IMO requirement, in the main.


Aren't all IMO requirements "in the main"?

Yes .... and no. The IMO is still a developing body.
The point is, that this is not just a Canadian Gov. issue. Different
"Port States" will tend to argue over various points of implementation
which can and will cause some delays in total implementation, and/or
might change the final way that some vessels may be required or not
required to comply.
Although many of the requirements are in place and equipment is
installed, I don't think we've heard the last as to how this will work
for everyone.
