With the attached bulletin in subject, the Tokyo MoU has informed ship operators, shipmasters, classification societies, Maritime Administrations, their officers, investigators and technical advisors of the potential risk of testing of automatic start of emergency source of electrical power and connection to the emergency switchboard (SOLAS Ch. II-1 Regulation 42 / 43) using simulated blackout method. Having said that, IACS has decided to launch its own CIC to record results of testing of emergency power supply on individual ships.

This inspection campaign will be held for 12 months commencing from 1 January 2025 and ending 31 December 2025 and examine the Emergency Power Supply of the ship. A ship will be subject to only one inspection under this CIC during the period of the IACS campaign.
