 no later than 60 months following the last application to the ship of such a system. In addition, the IAFS Certificate has been updated to address compliance options for anti-fouling systems to address cybutryne. Ships which are affected by this ban on cybutryne must receive an updated IAFS Certificate no later than two years after the entry into force of these amendments. Ships which are not affected (i.e. with anti-fouling systems which do not contain cybutryne) must receive an updated IAFS Certificate at the next Anti-fouling application to the vessel.
We have obtained Anti-fouling System Certificates for all of our vessels that are subject to the Anti-fouling Convention.

Compliance Enforcement
Noncompliance with the ISM Code or other IMO regulations may subject the ship owner or bareboat charterer to increased liability, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for affected vessels and may result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports. The USCG and E.U. authorities have indicated that vessels not in compliance with the ISM Code by applicable deadlines will be prohibited from trading in U.S. and E.U. ports, respectively. As of the date of this annual report, each of our vessels is ISM Code certified. However, there can be no assurance that such certificates will be maintained in the future. The IMO continues to review and introduce new regulations. It is impossible to predict what additional regulations, if any, may be passed by the IMO and what effect, if any, such regulations might have on our operations.
United States Regulations
The year 2025 marks a change in administration in the United States. President Trump has signed a number of executive orders and directives that are likely to have an impact on U.S. regulations. For example, a regulatory freeze was issued, which permits the withdrawal of rules sent to be published and authorizes those in charge of federal agencies to delay for 60 days the effective date of rules that have been published but are not yet effective. This regulatory freeze impacts U.S. EPA decisions and proposed amendments. Additionally federal agencies have placed employees on leave as a result of an executive order regarding diversity, equity and inclusion programs, which may impact implementation and enforcement of regulations. This and additional executive orders could impact regulatory requirements.
