2003.
- all ships shall not bear AFS containing organotin
compounds which act as biocides on their hulls or external parts
or surfaces, on and after January 1, 2008. (Organo-tin AFS sould be re-coated by non-organo tin AFS after blasting,
or be covered by sealercoats.)
- Cybutryne was newly added as a prohibited antifouling agent by resolution MEPC331(76) in June 2021.
All ships shall not apply or re-apply anti-fouling paints containing Cybutryne after January 1, 2023.

- Japanese Government ratified this Convention on July 2003. This
Convention will entry into force 12 months after 25 States representing
25% of the world's merchant shipping tonnage have ratified it.
- With this Convention, flag states will verify ship's antifouling
system and issue "International anti-fouling system certificate"

as "Class 1 specified chemical substances" by Law concerning
the Examination and Regulation of Manufacture etc. of Chemical Substances

TBT compounds (13 substances) were defined as "Class 2 specified
chemical substances"in 1990, requiring report for manufacturing
