The present publication, Section2, was prepared by the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), and provides guidance to Governments on search and recovery procedures for packaged goods lost at sea to which the provisions of chapter VII of SOLAS 1974, as amended, and Annex III of MARPOL, as amended, apply.
