STCW 95 completely revised the STCW 78 which was in force. MARPOL 73 was not yet in force when the Protocol of 78 came . MARPOL 73 already covered pollution by Oil, Chemicals,Harmful substances in packaged form, sewage and Garbage. Protocol of 78 added measures related to tanker design and operation (like COW). Thus while STCW 95 completely revised STCW 78 , MARPOL protocol 78 added new measures, hence MARPOL is referred as -
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE PREVENTION OF MARINE POLLUTION FROM SHIPS,1973 AS MODIFIED BY THE PROTOCOL OF 1978 RELATING THERETO(MARPOL 73/78)
Phew !!!!
