Regulations on Loading Software

The document outlines regulations mandating that all classed sea-going ships, 65 meters in length and above, must use loading software if contracted for construction on or after July 1, 1998.

Specific effective dates for tankers, bulk carriers, passenger ships, and container ships are also provided, alongside references to relevant maritime codes.
