Search and rescue locating devicesMSC 84 adopted amendments - in force from1 January 2010 - to replace requirements for "radar transponders" with a requirement for a "search and rescue locating device"

Search and rescue locating devices shall be carried on each side of every passenger ship and every cargo ship of 500 gross tonnage and upwards. At least one such device shall be carried on every cargo ship between 300 and 500 gross tonnage. Additional requirements apply to fitting of search and rescue devices in liferafts on ro-ro cargo ships.

The search and rescue locating devices shall conform to the performance standards adopted by IMO and shall be capable of operating either in the 9 GHz band or on frequencies dedicated for AIS.(SOLAS reg. III/6, III/26 and IV/7, 1988 SOLAS Protocol, SOLAS Certificates and the 1994 and 2000 HSC codes)

SOLAS Ch. III PRADEEP@MSC SHIPPING



Safety of Navigation - ECDIS

Mandatory carriage of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) for different ship types and sized constructed in the period 2012to 2018 was adopted at MSC 86

From 1 January 2011 ECDIS is accepted as meeting the chart carriage requirements. From 2002 it may be accepted by the Administration

Use of electronic navigational charts will probably reduce the frequency of groundings by more than one third

It is expected that ECDIS will reduce the risks related to several generic accident scenarios such as groundings, collision and contact

SOLAS Ch. V PRADEEP@MSC SHIPPING



Safety of Navigation – BNWAS etc.

Bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS) to be carried from1 January 2011 to 1 July 2014 for all cargo ships of 150 gross tonnage and upwards and passenger ships irrespective of size(SOLAS Reg. V/19)

An e-navigation strategy is under development and is intended to be implemented from 2012

SOLAS Ch. V PRADEEP@MSC SHIPPING



International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code

The Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes (BC Code), adopted as a recommendatory Code in 1965 and updated at regular intervals since then, will be replaced by the mandatory IMSBC Code adopted at MSC 85 by res. MSC.268(85)

The IMSBC Code will be implemented by amendments to SOLAS Ch. VI entering into force on 1 January 2011

The provisions of the Code may be applied from 1 January 2009 on a voluntary basis, pending the entry into force on 1 January 2011

SOLAS Ch. VI and VII PRADEEP@MSC SHIPPING



Material safety data sheetsA new regulation SOLAS Ch. VI Reg. 5-1 was added by MSC 83 and amended by MSC 86:

Material safety data sheets for cargo carried by ships carrying MARPOL Annex I oil and marine fuel oils

The amendments were adopted by resolution MSC.239(83) and enter into force on 1 July 2009

From 1 January 2011 Material safety datasheets are to be provided prior to the loadingof such cargoes and taking on fuel oilin accordance with res. MSC.286(86) and MSC/Circ.1303

SOLAS Ch. VI PRADEEP@MSC SHIPPING



Casualty Investigation CodeThe Code of the International Standards and Recommended Practices for a Safety Investigation into a Marine Casualty or Marine Incident(Casualty Investigation Code) was adopted as Resolution MSC.255(84) in May 2008; in force from 1 January 2010

The Code requires a marine safety investigation into every marine casualty involving the total loss of the ship or a death or severe damage to the environment

SOLAS Chapter XI-1 was also amended, making the Code mandatory and expanding on Regulation I/21, which more vaguely requires Administrations to conduct investigations

SOLAS Ch. XI-1 PRADEEP@MSC SHIPPING



Definition of the term Bulk Carrier

MSC 85 adopted res. MSC.277(85) on Clarification of the term “bulk carrier” and Guidance for application of regulations in SOLAS to ships which occasionally carry dry cargoes in bulk and are not determined as bulk carriers in accordance with regulation XII/1.1 and chapter II-1

The Guidance covers new ships, only

SOLAS Ch. XII

The MSC Resolution is non-mandatory, but may be made mandatory later and nevertheless governments are urged to apply the operational measures (paragraph 1.1 of the Guidance) to ships with keel laying on or after 1 January 2009 and the structural requirements (paragraph 1.2 of the Guidance) to ships with keel laying on or after 1 July 2010




Life-Saving Appliances (LSA) CodeMSC 85 revised the LSA Code and MSC.81(70) by res. MSC.272(85) and MSC.274(85)

The Code will effective from 1 July 2010 apply 82,5 kg as the average mass of persons for the prototype testing of lifeboats intended for cargo ships, free-fall lifeboats and rescue boats

The Code also describes extended requirement to seating arrangement for free-fall lifeboat

When adopting the amendment to the LSA Code, MSC agreed that the amendments should only apply to equipment installed on new ships.

However, regarding the installation of such equipment on existing ships, MSC considered that the matter is adequately addressed by the principle in SOLAS regulation III/1.4.2.

LSA Code PRADEEP@MSC SHIPPING



Packed dangerous goods on board HSC

MSC 85 adopted amendments to 2000 HSC Code regulation 7.17 by res. MSC.271(85)

Existing provisions of paragraph 7.17 of the HSC Code do not apply to dangerous goods in accepted quantities pending the entry into force date of the relevant amendments to 7.17 of the Code (i.e. 1 January 2011)

Ship Recycling – Some Basics

The Convention calls for

inventory data, a list of

hazardous materials onboard,

for all ships being delivered to a

ship recycling facility

The Inventory of Hazardous Materials is the responsibility of the ship owner and includes 3 parts:

Part 1 - Hazardous Materials Contained in the Ship’s Structure and Equipment

Part 2 - Operationally generated wastes

Part 3 - Stores




New Convention on Recycling

Adopted in May 2009 (Hong Kong)

The new convention will provide regulations for:

The design, construction, operation and preparation of ships so as to facilitate safe and environmentally-sound recycling

The establishment of an appropriate enforcement mechanism for ship recycling, incorporating certification and reporting requirements (for example Inventory of Hazardous Materials, previously known as Green Passport)

The operation of ship-recycling facilities in a safe and environmentally-sound manner




Recycling news from Diplomatic Conference

Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships - Adopted 15 May 2009

Ship Recycling Plan (SRP) - “Tacit” or “Explicit” approval

Four prohibited materials from new installation (Asbestos, PCB, Ozone Depleting Substances, Organotin Compounds)

Final survey - check that the SRP is approved, check Parts 1, 2 and 3 and safe-for-hot work, safe-for-entry procedures included

Threshold values - Included in the “Guidelines for the development of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials”, adopted July 2009 by Resolution MEPC.179(59)




New Convention on Recycling

The Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009

will enter into force 24 months after the date on which:

15 States

representing 40 per cent of world merchant shipping by gross tonnage

the combined maximum annual ship recycling volume of those States must, during the preceding 10 years, constitute not less than 3 per cent of their combined merchant shipping tonnage ??
