 BY HARMFUL SUBSTANCES CARRIED BY SEA IN PACKAGED FORM, OR IN CARGO CON- 

 TAINERS OR IN PORTABLE TANKS 



The Conference, 



Recognizing a potential hazard to the marine environment which is involved 

 in the carriage of harmful substances b;^' sea in packaged form, or in cargo con- 

 tainers or in portable tanks. 



Noting that, whilst recognizing the need to formulate appropriate provisions 

 for inclusion in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from 

 Ships, 1973, the present state of knowledge in this field has not advanced suflS- 

 ciently enough to enable the Conference to formulate such provisions. 



Having agreed iipon a series of recommendations relating to the carriage of 

 harmful substances in packaged form, or in cargo containers or in portable tanks, 

 the texts of which appear in the Appendix to this Resolution, 



6 Some dplpffatlons mentionpd that this interdiction may interfere with international 

 trade and that actually no scientific or teclinlcal reason could justify this interdiction. 

 It was apreed that jrreat care should be exercised wlien finalizing tiie text so as to ensure 

 compatil)itit.v witli the provisions of other Annexes. 



« Depending on the final text of Article 7 to be adopted by the Conference there might be 

 a need to include appropriate requirements in this Annex.
