What IMO Anti-Fouling Systems Convention 2001 (AFS) - Harmful Coating Prohibition and Compliance requires
The IMO International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships (AFS Convention 2001, entered into force 2008) prohibits the application of organotin-based anti-fouling paint (tributyltin - TBT) on ships' hulls and requires all ships to carry an International Anti-Fouling System Certificate (IAFS Certificate) verified by a Recognised Organisation. The Convention establishes a control list mechanism allowing future harmful anti-fouling substances to be added, currently including TBT under Annex 1.
