It is also assessing the results and lessons learned and address implications for the wider VOS. This document should be read in conjunction with the report of the Task Team on the VOSClim Project, which recommends that the project status should be discontinued, and that VOS Climate ships should be fully integrated within the existing VOS Scheme. It proposes criteria that should apply for ships to be upgraded from selected VOS standards to VOS Climate standards.
