Paris MoU and Tokyo MoU CIC on Fire Safety

Through a press release on 1 August 2023, the Paris and Tokyo MoUs published the questionnaire for this year’s CIC. The questionnaire contains 10 questions (see Appendix on page 2) to confirm that the vessel complies with fire safety requirements under the relevant IMO instruments.
