Abstract
After a raging debate, representatives of the 159 member states of the International Maritime Organisation (imo) adopted a new convention recently to restrict the use of the harmful compound known as organotins used in ship paints which leach into the water, killing marine life and also entering the food chain. By January 1, 2003, all ships shall not apply or re-apply organotin. And by January 1, 2008, ships either shall not bear such compounds on their hulls or shall bear a coating that forms a barrier to such compounds.
