GL Rules Pilot

Keeping you informed on IMO, ILO and IACS regulation changes

Peace of mind
Everyone in the maritime business knows just how much paper the IMO and other regulatory bodies produce. As regulations change with mind-blowing frequency, shipowners, operators, yards and design offices are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up to date and informed on regulation changes. Up until now, GLs annual IMO Pilot provided information on IMO regulation changes in printed form. But it was up to the shipowner or operator to determine which regulation changes applied specifically to his fleet. Now, the new GL Rules Pilot Premium version, shifts the burden of staying up to date and informed away from the ship-owner or operator to GL. As a result, GL customers can rest assured that they will always be actively informed about significant regulation changes that specifically affect their fleet and planned future newbuildings.
