•Areas for improvement<br />
1. Lack of submission of reports to Flag State after an<br />
incident.<br />
2. Notification of vessels not registering to MSCHOA<br />
neither using IRTC.<br />
3. Communication channels between Administrations<br />
and MSCHOA should be kept under review to<br />
improve vessel reporting.<br />
4. Operators need to follow requests of flag state<br />
when informed of not following recommendations. dti<br />
5. Feedback from the users of the BMP, mainly<br />
seafarers.
