PEST CONTROL

Useful website - IMO Public Access

Originally, this website came to my attention for other purposes. However, it has a range of useful and interesting sections.

Principally, it can be used to search for details of ships and companies registered with the International Maritime Organisation. However, it also lists other things of interest e.g. Approvals for Marpol equipment, marine casualties/incidents, Port Reception Facilities, certificate specimens.

Registration is very quick and I'm sure it will be worth registering if you have any involvement in ship inspection.
