This circular updates members on revised regulations in the People’s Republic of China covering the prevention and control of marine pollution from ships. London P&I explains the change to the approval process for ship pollution response organisations and the practical steps members should continue to follow when arranging cover before calling at a PRC port.

London P&I also notes that members should continue to use the list of previously approved ship pollution response organisations on the website until further guidance is available.
