Key elements of Annex VI – Reg’s 14 & 18 • Bunker Deliver Note • Sampling requirements • Port State must contain a register of authorised bunker suppliers – how ”open” is this? • Suppliers must certify that the fuel meets the required quality • Port State Control must inform the Flag State administration and IMO if fuel has been supplied with fails to meet Reg’s 14 and 18
