The book is arranged in ten chapters covering the general information, oxides of nitrogen and sulphur, i.e. NOx and SOx, particulate matter, incinerators, fuel oil controls, VOCs, ODCs, and other relevant aspects. There are five appendices to the main course, containing the glossary of terms, VOC management plan, and some other supplementary material.
 The present official Maritime Security Manual was released by the IMO with the objective to provide all necessary guidance for the port facilities, ports and ships. It will provide the required consolidated technical guidance on the amendments to SOLAS, that are directly related to the security. Subject amendments have been included in a newly added Chapter XI-2 of this Convention.
The guidance that is provided in this Manual has been mainly addressed to the government officials exercising the responsibilities that the MSM (standing for the "Maritime Security Measures") are placing on the contracting governments, workers of the port facilities exercising the responsibilities that the MSM are placing on ports, and the workers of the shipping companies exercising the responsibilities placed by the MSM on the shipping companies and vessels operated by those companies.
The content of the publication will also be relevant to the people who are responsible for the security in ports, on board ships, or at port facilities. The publication consists of five major sections. The first section describes the content and declared purpose of the volume and it also provides a general overview of the MSM, while the second, third and fourth sections give required guidance on the security responsibilities that the MSM place on governments, port facilities plus shipping companies; finally, the last section describes the established methodology for the security assessment...
 We are offering you to have a glance in this short guide that have been worked out and intended to familiarize all seafarers with the "Manila Amendments" to the IMO STCW Convention of 2010. This publication was released by the ISF, standing for the "International Shipping Federation", in collaboration with the ICS, i.e. the "International Chamber of Shipping". These amendments are in force since 1 January 2012.
The key new requirements are affecting such important areas as training record books, changes to competence tables, tanker training, plus mandatory security training, leadership and teamwork, refresher training, and new seafarer grades/certification, medical standards etc. This small but quite useful brochure dedicated to the Manila amendments, was produced to coincide with the IMO Seafarer's Day in order to summarize what seafarers could expect from the Convention after is has been amended.
No doubt that the professional competence of the seafarers is for sure the most critical factor that is significantly contributing in the safe and efficient operations of the vessels. It should definitely be underlined that the above mentioned competence has a direct and strong impact on the human safety at sea together with the preventing the marine environment from being polluted. We would recommend every seaman to have a close look into the content of this document...
