Remarks:
Maritime Provision No. 103 Naval National Prefecture of October 6th, 2005. INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON THE CONTROL OF HARMFUL ANTIFOULING SISTEMS ON SHIPS. It specifies that Uruguay is in process of ratifying the International Convention on the control of harmful Antifouling Systems on ships (AFS Convention-Anti Fouling System) of 2001, which arises from serious problems to the marine environment caused by the presence of high concentrations of organotin (organ-stannic compounds) derived from the application of antifouling paints for boats hulls preservation. On the other hand, it is considered that major providers of this type of paints in the Uruguayan market do not sell paints containing these harmful compounds since September 2002. Therefore, the use of paints with organ-stannic compounds for ship hulls preservation larger than 10 GRT (gross registered tons), which covers most of the national flag ships, is banned. The nature of this provision is temporary and revocable, but to date there's no other provision to annul it, therefore it is in full force.
