In response to queries from maritime stakeholders regarding the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on survey and certification matters, IACS issued a letter describing actions that have been taken by IACS and its members to help the shipping industry maintain business continuity through these challenging times.

IACS’ response to specific suggestions received is attached to the letter as an Annex and the IACS COVID-19 Task Force will continue to work on these along with any further issues that may be subsequently identified. 

The letter as well as further updates and information are published on the dedicated IACS COVID-19 webpage.
