This circular informs Members of recent changes to the IMSBC Code and the new iron ore fines (IOF) Schedule to the Code governing the carriage of IOF by sea, and an amended iron ore Schedule, that were agreed at the IMO DSC 18 meeting in September 2013, subject to final approval by the IMO Maritime Safety Committee at its 95th session in 2015. In accordance with the recently issued IMO circular DSC.1/Circ.71, which contains these changes to the Code, both Australia and Brazil have now given early effect to the new Schedule.
