How SK came about
No Master, officer or superintendent thinks «today I'll read MARPOL Annex I»: they think «I need to bunker», «I need to fill in the Oil Record Book», «I have a PSC inspection tomorrow». SK starts from there: it does not replace the regulation, it makes applying it correctly easier.
