Bulletin 252: LRIT Application Service Providers (ASPs) Authorised by BMSR

LRIT APPLICATION SERVICE PROVIDERS (ASPs) AUTHORISED BY BMSR

Application: All ship-owners, operators, masters and officers of merchant ships and authorised classification societies

In accordance with IMO MSC Circular 1307 section 7.2.4, it has been decided that Barbados  Maritime will reduce the number of Conformance Testing ASPs to just one: Fulcrum Maritime Systems of Hornchurch, Essex, UK.

This move, which will take effect from 1st January 2016, reflects the limited number of tests that are required by our clients in that we are a relatively small flag state. The move should also help to simplify matters and contain costs.

Any vessels using the service of other Testing ASPs previously authorised by Barbados may continue to do so after 1st January 2016 for the period of validity remaining on their Conformance Test Reports.
