[SHIPPING] INTERESTING! Components to be tested - long list ' Key Views from Relevant Agencies Key views from relevant agencies - The Chamber of Shipping The Chamber of Shipping (Excerpts from) General Circular 20 March 1998 No. 11.3. The Millennium Problem A meeting between shipowners was held on 16 March 1998. A number of actions were agreed/recommended as follows: Members 1. Shipowners to take the initiative to determine whether their ships are Year 2000 compliant; they should not wait for an approach from the manufacturers. 2. Exchange of information between owners about specific manufacturers or their supply/servicing agents should be informal and direct i.e. not via Chamber circulars etc., in order to avoid the risk of legal proceedings. Chamber 1. The Chamber to write to the British Marine Equipment Council and any other appropriate manufacturing associations, impressing upon them the concerns of shipowners for the safe and correct operation of their vessels during the passing of the various Millennium problem dates which have been identified; manufacturers to be encouraged to be 'open' about the Year 2000 problem; 2. The Chamber to write to the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply with a suggestion that they issue some guidelines for shipowners when ordering ships and equipment which they desire to be Year 2000 compliant; Further information, including that resulting from the above actions, will be brought to the Members' attention as it comes to hand. Attached at Annex 3 is a list of recommended items to be checked for Year 2000 compliance. Members are reminded again of equipment lock-up which can result from advancing timing devices to Millennium problem dates which are beyond any time-bar which might have been built-in by the manufacturer.
