Key Decisions from IMO Bodies Relevant to the SSE 11th Session

The International Maritime Organization has issued a document SSE 11/2 outlining key decisions made by various International Maritime Organization (IMO) bodies that are relevant to the work of the Sub-Committee on Ship Systems and Equipment (SSE) during its 11th session. These decisions provide context and guidance for agenda items to be discussed by the SSE.

Decisions impacting the SSE's work were drawn from several recent IMO sessions. The 11th session of the Sub-Committee on Pollution Prevention and Response (PPR 11) held in February 2024 focused on environmental and pollution-related matters. The 108th session of the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC 108) in May 2024 deliberated on maritime safety regulations and guidelines. The 132nd session of the IMO Council (C 132) in July 2024 addressed administrative and procedural issues, while the 10th session of the Sub-Committee on Implementation of IMO Instruments (III 10), also in July 2024, reviewed issues related to the effective implementation of IMO regulations. The 133rd session of the Council (C 133) in November 2024 considered amendments to the organization’s rules and procedures, and the 109th session of the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC 109) in December 2024 discussed updates to technical standards and operational safety practices.
