Short Overview

The Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (GC Code) was developed to provide an international standard for the safe carriage by sea in bulk of liquefied gases and certain other substances. To minimize the risks to ships involved in such carriage, to their crews and to the environment, the Code prescribes the design and constructional features of such ships and the equipment they should carry. The Code generally applies to ships built on or after 31 December 1976 but prior to 1 July 1986. This edition incorporates amendments 1 to 4, including a supplement containing amendments adopted by resolution MSC.32(63) which came into force on 1 July 1998.

About the Author

IMO

As a specialised agency of the United Nations, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the global standard-setting authority for the safety, security and environmental performance of international shipping. Its main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry that is fair and effective, universally adopted and universally implemented.

In other words, its role is to create a level playing field so that ship operators cannot address their financial issues by simply cutting corners and compromising on safety, security and environmental performance. This approach also encourages innovation and efficiency.

Shipping is a truly international industry, and it can only operate effectively if the regulations and standards are themselves agreed, adopted and implemented on an international basis. And IMO is the forum at which this process takes place.
