26、lution of the marine environment which may arise from maritirhe activities, REALIZING that notwithstanding the adoption by the Organization of various measures for preventing collisions and strandings of ships, it is not possible to eliminate entirely accidents which may lead to release of oil, but

27、desiring to minimize ensuing damage to the environment, RECOGNIZING that construction of oil tankers of large size withoct accompanying control of size or internal arrangement of cargo tanks leads to the possibility, in the event of a single accident, of serious environmental pollution, HAVING EXAMI

28、NED the Recommendations relating to tank arrangements and to the limitation of tank size prepared by the Maritime Safety Committee at its twenty-third session, I CONSIDERING that the universal implementation of such requirements can best be achieved by amending the International Convention for the P

29、revention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil, 1954, NOTING that Article XVI of the International Convention for the Preven- tion of Pollution of the Sea by Oil, 1954, provides for procedures of amendment involving participation by the Organization, ADOPTS the following amendments to the Articles and Ann

30、exes to that Con- (a) (b) REQUESTS the Secretary-General of the Organization, in conformity with subparagraph (2)(a) of Article XVI, to comnunicate, for consideration arid accept- ance, certified copies of this resolution and its Annexes, to all Contracting Govern- ments to the International Convent

34、s placed on or after the date of coming into force of this Article shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions of Annex C. In addition, every tanker to which the present Convention applies and tor which the building contract is placed, or in the absence of a building contract the keel of

35、which is laid or which is at a similar stage of construction, before the date of coming into force of this Article shall be required, within two years after that date, to comply with the provisions of Annex C, where such a tanker falls into either of the following categories: (a) a tanker, the deliv

36、ery of which is after I January 1977; or (6) a tanker to which both the following conditions apply: (i) delivery is not later than 1 January 1977; and (ii) the building contract is placed after 1 January 1972, or in cases where no building contract has previously been placed the keel is laid, or the

37、 tanker is at a similar stage of construction, after 30 June 1972. (2) A tanker required under paragraph (I) of this Article to be constructed in accordance with Annex C and so constructed shall carry on board a dertificate issued or authorized by the responsible Contracting Government attesting suc

They shall be regarded by the other Contracting Governments as having the same force as certificates issued by them. 8 (4) If a Contracting Governme

41、nt has clear grounds for believing that a tanker required under paragraph (1) of this Article to be constructed in accordance with Annex C entering ports in its territory or using off-shore terminals under its control does not in fact comply with Annex C, such Contracting Government may request cons

42、ultation with the Government with which the tanker is regis- tered. If, after such consultation or otherwise, the Contracting Government is satisfied that the tanker does not comply with Annex C, such Contracting Government may for this reason deny such a tanker access to portsin its territorial wat

43、ers or to off-shore terminals under its control until such time as the Contracting Government is satisfied that the tanker does comply. Add new Annex C as follows: ANNEX C“ REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO TANK ARRANGEMENTS AND TO THE LIMITATION OF TANK SIZE 1. Assumed extent of damage In the following para

44、graphs three dimensions of the extent of damage of a parallelepiped due to both collision and stranding are assumed. In the case of stranding, two conditions are set forth to be applied individually to the stated portions of the ship. These values represent the maximum assumed damage in such acciden

45、ts and are to be used to determine by trial ai all conceivable loca- tions the worst combination of compartments which would be breached by such an accident.
