held at the IMO Headquarters in London from 27 May – 05 June 2009, all
shipping companies and relevant maritime entities are enjoined to
disseminate to all their seafarers and crew on-board their ships the
attached[*] extract from the United Nations (UN) Guidance on Surviving as a Hostage.
The above-mentioned UN Guidance, lifted from “Security in the Field-Information for Staff Members of the United Nations System” was made as an attachment to MSC86/WP.7/Add.1 which was approved at the Plenary of the MSC86.
