PARTYLIST group Marino has ordered the inter-agency body formed by President Rodrigo Duterte to submit quarterly reports to the House committees on transportation and overseas workers affairs as part of the country’s preparations for the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Member-State Audit Scheme (Imsas).

In his House Resolution 71, issued in the first regular session of the 18th Congress, Marino Partylist Rep. Carlo Lisandro Gonzalez said the body was required to hand over reports on the “efforts of national government agencies involved in the implementation of the applicable IMO instruments relating safety of life at sea, prevention of pollution from ships, standards of training, certification and watch keeping for seafarers, load lines, tonnage measurement of ships, and regulations for preventing collisions at sea.”
