LIST OF CODES, RECOMMENDATIONS, GUIDELINES AND OTHER SAFETY- AND


SECURITY-RELATED NON-MANDATORY INSTRUMENTS

1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its eighty-seventh session (12 to 21 May 2010),
acknowledging a that list of codes, recommendations, guidelines and other safety- and
security-related non-mandatory instruments could serve the following purposes:

.1 enhanced awareness of available non-mandatory instruments and of their


updates;

.2 promotion of implementation of non-mandatory instruments by Member


States;

.3 provision of background material on domestic legislation; and

.4 assistance in the identification of potential areas for technical co-operation,

approved the list of codes, recommendations, guidelines and other safety- and
security-related non-mandatory instruments, as set out in the annex.

2 Member Governments are invited to bring the list to the attention of all parties
concerned.
