The US Coast Guard has delegated authority to Lloyd’s Register to issue MARPOL Annex VI International Air Pollution Prevention Certificates (IAPP) on their behalf to US flag vessels.

The IAPP delegation completes the full suite of delegated authorities
available to Lloyd’s Register for marine vessels as a recognised
organisation with the US flag administration.

To formalise the new statutory authorisation, Richard Sadler, Chief
Executive Officer of Lloyd’s Register, participated in a joint signing
ceremony with Rear Admiral Brian Salerno and his staff at their
headquarters in Washington, DC. Admiral Salerno is the United States
Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety and Security.

Before the signing ceremony, Sadler met privately with the Commandant
of the US Coast Guard, Admiral Thad Allen. In what seemed a most
appropriate welcoming gesture, an American bald eagle, the national
emblem of freedom in the United States, flew directly overhead as
Sadler walked into the USCG building for the meetings.
