IMO-Vega is a searchable database of the regulation text of the SOLAS, MARPOL, Load Line conventions and other conventions, and codes such as the ISM, ISPS, 2000 HSC Code, the IBC Code, and much more.
An updated version of the IMO-Vega Database has now been released and is available for purchase. In this release, i.a. SOLAS chapters II-2 and III and MARPOL annexes IV and VI have been amended.
Furthermore, the IMDG Code 2016 Edition has been issued, the IAMSAR Manual Volume II has been updated and several new or revised circulars have been issued. All updated documents are included and consolidated into existing instruments, when relevant.
