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.

[cough cough]
Sorry to interrupt .... but ... "main" means "sea".

"Aren't all IMO requirements "in the main"?" was meant to be a *joke*.


Think about it, "main"="sea"..... Geddit?

No, I thought not.

I give up.... I'm obviously ****ing straight into the wind. There is
absolutely no point whatsoever in posting here. My talents are completely
wasted. None of you understand a bloody word that I write.


What's the point, eh?


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.


I know,..... I know. [sigh].

Perhaps I can help. In about 4 years, NMEA compatible receivers will be
available for about $100. 4 years after that, the transcievers will only
cost $100.
