Following the introduction in 2018 of new biofouling regulations for ships visiting New Zealand,
Intertanko have now issued practical guidance to owners which addresses and clarifies some of
the issues relating to the new requirements. As these relatively stringent new regulations present
a number of technical, commercial and practical implications for owners and charterers, Members
are recommended to take note of all available guidance and take protective measures to minimise
disruption under charterparties.
