Category Guidance

All purchases must be from vessels with an IMO UVI number, unless ineligible due to IMO requirements or due to other reasons stated by IMO.

Means of Verification

Review a random sample of purchases to assess whether the company’s system is adequate to ensure that vessels from which the product originates meet this requirement. If applicable, auditor reviews evidence for vessel being ineligible for an IMO number.
