Convention joined by 26 countries with 38.13% of world's merchant fleet by December 31, 2007. Enforcement required 25 countries and 25% tonnage percent, what happened between July and September, 2007. The complete ban on the application of organotins as antifouling biocides is to be observed one year after the enforcing of the AFS Convention. For further details refer to IMO homepage.
