IMO-Vega is an essential tool for anyone involved in shipping: shipowners and operators, shipbuilders, classification societies, casualty investigators, governments, insurers and underwriters, port authorities, surveyors and many others.
The IMO-Vega Database, developed jointly by
IMO and Det Norske Veritas (DNV), puts all the necessary information at your fingertips. Given year of build, ship type, ship size, cargo, trade area and flag, IMO-Vega will quickly identify the requirements applicable to the ship in question.
Unlike other, similar products, IMO-Vega contains historical data ? including regulations which have been superseded. In the context of Port State Control, for example, access to the correct historical regulations is essential.
IMO-Vega also includes relevant resolutions of the IMO Assembly, the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) and the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), as well as MSC and MEPC circulars.
