3 Consideration and adoption of amendments to mandatory instruments

Amendments to SOLAS adopted by Resolution MSC.338(91) – Enter into force 1 July 2014

Chapter II-1, Regulation 3-12 – Protection against noise

New Regulation. Applies to ships of 1,600 gross tonnage or more, for which the building contract is

placed on or after 1 July 2014, constructed on or after 1 January 2015 or delivered on or after 1 July 2018.

The ships shall be constructed to reduce on-board noise and to protect personnel from noise inaccordance with resolution MSC.337(91) Code on noise levels on-board ships.

The Code requires measurement of noise levels in work, navigation, accommodation and servicespaces under simulated port conditions and at normal service speed at no less than 80% of themaximum continuous rating (MCR).

Until adoption of this regulation, provisions for reduction of noise have been recommendatory. Suchprovisions are now made mandatory; however, some of the requirements are still recommendatory.

Chapter II-1, Regulation 36 – Protection against noise

Existing regulation 36 is deleted (in effect left blank to retain the numbering of the regulations.)

Chapter II-2, Regulation 1 – Application

New subparagraphs .7 and .8 have been added regarding the application of existing regulations for ships built after 1 February 2002 but before 1 July 2002, regarding special requirements for carriage of dangerous goods as amended through SOLAS 2008, 2002 and 2000 amendments.

Chapter II-2, Regulation 9 – Containment of fire

Tables 9.3 to 9.6 have been amended with more strict insulation requirements for several boundaries.

Chapter II-2, Regulation 10.5.6 – Fire fighting

Subparagraph 3.1 of 5.6 Fixed local application fire fighting systems has been amended to distinguishbetween ships built before or on or after 1 July 2014. Reference is made to the amendments to theInternational Fire Safety Systems (FSS) Code regarding sealed and non-sealed machinery spaces.

Chapter II-2, Regulation 10.10 – Fire fighting

Paragraph 10 Fire-fighters outfit has been amended with reference to the FSS Code regarding self-contained breathing apparatus that will have to comply with the revised FSS Code requirements for breathing apparatus latest by 1 July 2019. This applies to all ships.

Chapter III, Regulation 19 – Emergency training and drills

The existing text of subparagraph 2.2 requiring that the passengers shall muster within 24 hours after embarkation has been replaced with “muster of newly embarked passengers shall take place prior to or immediately upon departure”.

Amendments to FSS Code adopted by Resolution MSC.339(91) – Enter into force 1 July 2014 A new Chapter 14 Fixed deck foam systems has replaced the existing chapter.

Further, the following chapter have been amended:

Chapter 3 Personnel protection - breathing apparatus.

Chapter 5 Fixed gas fire-extinguishing systems - fire-extinguishing in cargo areas.

Chapter 7 Fixed pressure water-spraying and water-mist fire-extinguishing systems - use of the systemsin ro-ro, vehicle and special category spaces.

Refer also to MSC.1/Circ.1430 Revised guidelines for approval of fixed water-based fire-fighting systems for ro-ro spaces and special category spaces approved at MSC 90 in May 2012.

Chapter 8 Automatic sprinkler, fire detection and fire alarm systems – use of nominal area.

Chapter 9 Fire detection and fire alarm systems – power supplies and loss of power.

Chapter 12 Emergency fire pumps – starting of diesel engine.Chapter 13 Arrangement of means of escape – required areas of landings.

Amendments to IBC Code adopted by Resolution MSC.340(91) – Enter into force 1 June 2014

The existing chapters 17, 18 and 19 contain the carriage requirements for products. They have beenreplaced by adoption of resolution MSC.340(91). The same amendments were adopted by resolutionMEPC.225(64) in October 2012 by MEPC 64. Upon entry into force, chemical tankers will be required tobe certified with a revised cargo list (where relevant) and a revised Certificate of Fitness. There areapproximately 150 products that have revised carriage requirements. Most of the changes relate to theretroactive requirement, covered by MSC.1/Circ.1324, Revised Standards for the Design, Testing andLocation of Devices to Prevent the Passage of Flame into Cargo Tanks in Tankers that the MaximumExperimental Safe Gap (MESG) value for the media used to test Flame Preventer Devices correspondsto the product certified to be carried in the tank fitted with that tested device.

Amendments to Performance standard for protective coatings for dedicated seawater ballasttanks in all types of ships and double-side skin spaces of bulk carriers – ResolutionMSC.251(82) – Enter into force 1 July 2014

4 Measures to enhance maritime security

No issues that require special attention at this time, but see also agenda item 17.

5 Goal-based new ship construction standards

The title of this agenda item is now quite misleading, as the topics under consideration are no longer

limited to construction or structural standards.Two Guidelines are under development:1) The guidelines for the approval of equivalents and alternatives; and2) Interim guidelines for the safety-level approach (GBS/SLA).

The Guidelines for the approval of equivalents and alternatives are expected to be approved at MSC 92in June 2013. The most controversial issues relating to these guidelines are verification andtransparency. However, it was agreed that these issues do not need to be included in the draftGuidelines at this time.

The work with the GBS/SLA is progressing rather slowly, mainly because it involves discussions relatingto the structure of IMO regulations. At IMO there are currently many working groups following a goalbased approach. This work does not follow similar methodologies, and some guidelines would certainlybe helpful.

6 LRIT-related matters

No issues that require special attention at this time.

7 Passenger ship safety

The previously issued MSC.1/Circ.1446 Recommended interim measures for passenger shipcompanies to enhance the safety of passenger ships has been revised. The new guidelines emphasizeimmediate actions operators of passenger ships are encouraged to implement in their operationalmeasures.

The revised MSC.1/Circ.1446/Rev.1 describes the following items;

• lifejackets on board passenger ships, except ro-ro passenger ships

• emergency instructions for passengers

• common elements of musters and emergency instructions

• passenger muster policy

• access of personnel to the navigational bridge

• voyage planning

• recording the nationality of persons on board

• lifeboat loading for training purposes.

The existing Regulation III/19 Emergency training and drills of SOLAS Chapter III has been amendedaccordingly and requires from 1 July 2014 that muster of newly embarked passengers shall take placeprior to or immediately upon departure, compared to the previous requirement of mustering within 24hours after embarkation.

8 Making the Polar Code mandatory

A proposal to divide the Code in a Part I for Safety Measures and a Part II for Pollution PreventionMeasures and to add a new Chapter to SOLAS to make the Code mandatory gained support. The issuewill be further discussed in the Sub-Committee for Ship Design and Equipment (DE), currentlydeveloping the Code.

9 Radiocommunications and search and rescue

The Committee approved three circulars and one resolution:

MSC.1/Circ.1185/Rev.1 Guide for cold water survival

COMSAR.1/Circ.55 Guidance for entering and updating information on search and rescueservices into GISIS and on how to access information for operational use

COMSAR.1/Circ.56 Guidance on smartphone and other computer device SAR applications

Resolution MSC.347(91) Recommendation for the protection of the AIS VHF data link.

10 Flag State implementation

The Committee approved draft amendments to the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966,International regulations for preventing collisions at sea, 1972 and International convention on tonnagemeasurement of ships, 1969 intended to be adopted by Assembly in November 2013 concerning, auditsand verification of compliance related to the IMO Instruments Implementation (Triple I) (III Code) alsointended to be adopted at the next Assembly. The III Code intends to make the current voluntarymember state audit scheme mandatory.

Furthermore, the Committee concurred with the decisions made by MEPC 64 on certain amendments tothe draft Code for recognized organizations (RO Code) and approved the draft amendments to SOLAS1974 and LL PROT 1988 to make the RO Code mandatory, with a view to adoption at MSC 92 in June2013.

The Committee also agreed to establish a Working Group (WG) under the FSI Sub-Committee toconsider the issue of the scope of application of amendments to SOLAS and related codes in a holisticmanner, to hopefully reduce the need for clarification of application experienced lately, by developing amethodology to systematically resolve the identified issues; prepare draft vehicle(s) for theestablishment of such a methodology; and define the roadmap for the implementation of themethodology for existing and future amendments. The WG will report to MSC 92 in June 2013.

The Committee also agreed that FSI 21 should develop a detailed strategy for the development of anon-mandatory instrument limited to common regulations and those that are specific to non-conventionpassenger ships, for consideration at MSC 92 for inclusion in the High-level Action Plan for the nextbiennium.

11 Training and Watchkeeping

The Committee agreed that there was no need to develop additional training standards for recoverycapability for all types of ships. The Committee approved the following circulars:

STCW.7/Circ.19 Revised Guidelines on the medical examination of seafarers;

MSC-MEPC.7/Circ.8 Revised Guidelines for the operational implementation of the InternationalSafety (ISM) Code by Companies

Furthermore the Committee agreed revised versions of the circulars related to implementation of theSTCW Convention as listed in Annex 2.

The Committee agreed that guidelines on safety when transferring persons at sea should be developedand instructed the Human Element Working Group at STW 44 to develop "Guidelines on safety whentransferring persons at sea".

12 Safety of navigation

The Committee approved the following circulars:

COLREG.2/Circ.156 New and amended traffic separation schemes

SN.1/Circ.317 Routeing measures other than traffic separation schemes

SN.1/Circ.318 New mandatory ship reporting system "In the Barents Area (Barents SRS)"

SN.1/Circ.319 Amendments to the General Provisions on Ships' Routeing(resolution A.572(14), as amended)

MSC.1/Circ.1350/Rev.1 Unified Interpretations of SOLAS regulation V/22.1.6

MSC.1/Circ.1369/Add.1 Interim Explanatory Notes for the assessment of passenger ship systems'capabilities after a fire or flooding casualty

13 Dangerous goods, solid cargoes and containers

No issues that require special attention at this time.

16 Formal safety assessment

The Revised Guidelines for Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) for use in the IMO rule-making process were approved. The revised Guidelines now contain risk criteria for oil spill.



6

The FSA Experts Group met prior to MSC 91 to review two FSAs.1. FSA study on sea transport of dangerous goods (DSC 16/6 and DSC 16/INF.2)

2. FSA study on crude oil tankers (MEPC 58/17/2 and MEPC 58/INF.2)

Both reviews were generally positive, with recommendations taken forward. The FSA study on crude oiltankers demonstrated that the IHSF database severely underreport oil pollution, and that the riskcriterion for large oil spill is too lax.

17 Piracy and armed robbery against ships

The Committee recalled that ISO would be best placed to develop standards on Private MaritimeSecurity Companies (PMSC) with guidance from IMO, that the Committee had approved new interimguidance on PMSC (MSC.1/Circ.1443) and that the Organization did not support self-certification or self-regulation, and noted the information provided by ISO on progress to date on the new ISO Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 28007.

ISO informed the Committee that ISO PAS 28007 is a member of the ISO 28000 series where ISO28000:2007 is the certifiable security management systems standard and ISO 28003:2007 providesrequirements for providing audits and certification to ISO 28000:2007. ISO PAS 28007 sets out theguidance for applying ISO 28000 to Private Maritime Security Companies. Both standards were adoptedin 2007. An accredited certif ication body wishing to offer accredited certification to PMSC under ISO28000 should meet the updated requirements of ISO 28003. ISO will provide an update at MSC 92.

18 Implementation of instruments and related matters

On the request from IACS on a clarification on the requirements of SOLAS regulation III/20.2 and theLSA Code section 2.2 regarding what might constitute "acceptable arrangements for the positioning andoperation of lights fitted to lifejackets", the Committee agreed to refer the issue to DE 57 for consideration and to advise MSC 92 accordingly.

19 Work programmeThe Committee added the following new work programmes of the sub-committees, with targetcompletion date in brackets, as follows:

DSC, FP, Development of amendments to SOLAS and the relevant codes concerning mandatoryBLG, STW carriage of appropriate atmosphere testing instruments on board ships (2013)

STW Revision of the guidance for model course development, updating and validationprocesses (2015)

STW Preparation of amendments to the colour vision requirements in the STCW Code (2013)

STW Review of STCW passenger ship specific safety training (2015)

A proposal from the United States on Clarification and harmonization of the requirements for escaperoute signs and equipment location markings in SOLAS and related instruments was not carried as moreinformation was considered needed. Another proposal, also from the US, on Operational and technicalissues related to AIS for distress communications, was also not carried as it was considered alreadycovered by the review of the GMDSS.
