NAVTEX is an international automated direct-printing service for promulgation of navigational and meteorological warnings and other urgent information to ships. It is one of the two principle methods used for broadcasting maritime safety information in accordance with the provisions of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended.
It has been developed to provide a low-cost, simple and automated means of receiving maritime safety information and Search and Rescue alerts on board ships at sea and in coastal waters. The information transmitted may be relevant to all sizes and types of vessel and the selective message-rejection feature ensures that every mariner can receive safety information broadcasts which are relevant to their voyage.
This manual is intended, primarily, for use by maritime Administrations and others concerned with the preparation and broadcasting of maritime safety information. It will also be of interest to seafarers, shipowners and others who need to receive such information in order to safely go about their business at sea.
This fifth edition includes a number of amendments which reflect the recent updates to the Joint IMO/IHO/WMO Manual on Maritime Safety Information. The definitions have been extensively expanded, along with the technical explanations of the "B" characters which make up the alphanumeric code of each NAVTEX message. New sections include examples of navigational warnings and meteorological messages, responsibilities of a NAVTEX Co-ordinator and mutual interference between NAVTEX stations.

The primary aim of the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code, which replaces the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes (BC Code), is to facilitate the safe stowage and shipment of solid bulk cargoes by providing information on the dangers associated with the shipment of certain types of solid bulk cargoes and instructions on the procedures to be adopted when the shipment of solid bulk cargoes is contemplated. The IMSBC Code, may be applied from 1 January 2009 on a voluntary basis, anticipating its envisaged official entry into force on 1 January 2011, from which date it will be mandatory under the provision of the SOLAS Convention.
To keep pace with the expansion and progress of industry, in recent years, the Code has undergone many changes, including:
- Fully updated individual schedules for solid bulk cargoes
- New individual schedules for such cargoes as spent cathodes and granulated tyre rubber
- New provisions about sulphur
- References to the most recent SOLAS amendments
- Updated information from the 2008 edition of the IMDG Code
This publication presents additional information that complements the IMSBC Code, such as the Code of Practice for the Safe Loading and Unloading of Bulk Carriers (BLU Code) and Recommendations on the safe use of pesticides in ships applicable to the fumigation of cargo holds.
The IMSBC Code and supplement is recommended to Administrations, shipowners, shippers and masters and all others concerned with the standards to be applied in the safe stowage and shipment of solid bulk cargoes, excluding grain.
