  1 The Sub-Committee on Human Element, Training and Watchkeeping at its first session (17 to 21 February 2014), noting that the Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping, at its forty-fourth session, had agreed that the appropriate instrument to include training and certification provisions for personnel on ships using gases or other low-flashpoint fuels was chapter V of the STCW Convention and Code, developed Interim guidance on training for seafarers on ships using gases or other low-flashpoint fuels given in the annex.

  2 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its ninety-fourth session (17 to 21 November 2014), approved this Interim guidance pending the entry into force of the International Code of Safety for ships using gases or other low-flashpoint fuels (IGF Code).
