[The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil, 1954, was opened for signature at London, May 12, 1954, and entered into force July 26, 1958. Amendments to the 1954 Convention were adopted by the Conference of Contracting Governments, held at London, April 4–11, 1962. Amendments to Articles I-X, XVI, XVIII, and Annexes A and B entered into force May 18, 1967. The amendment to Article XIV entered into force June 28, 1967. Further amendments to the Convention were adopted by the Assembly of the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization in London, on October 21, 1969. These amendments will come into force twelve months after they have been ratified by two-thirds of the governments which are parties to the Convention.

* Hand hosing, machine washing or chemical cleaning. Where chemically cleaned, the chemical concerned and the amount used should be stated.
* The routine discharge at sea of bilge water containing any oil from machinery spaces including pump room bilges need not be entered in the oil record book but, if not, it must be entered in the appropriate log book, stating whether or not the discharge was made through a separator. Where the pump starts automatically and discharges through a separator at all times it will be sufficient to enter each day “Automatic discharge from bilges through separator”.
