Dear colleagues,

In de SHIPSAN newsletter issue No 20 May 2016 (http://www.shipsan.eu/Portals/0/docs/SHIPSAN_20.pdf)  a good article was written by Martin Walker about Integrated Vector management Plans. In the article a summary of a template of an Integrated Vector Management Plan for vessel developed by John Gardner of New Zealand is shared. This template is very useful for me. I was wondering if it would be possible to share the final/complete template?
