SOLAS Protocol, and all subsequent amendments thereto up to and including the December 2002 amendments The resulting text has been compiled by the IMO Secretariat and is intended to provide an easy reference to SOLAS requirements applicable as on July 2004 The publication has been arranged in two parts: part 1, which contains the 1974 SOLAS Convention and 1988 SOLAS Protocol articles, requirements and certificates; and part 2, which contains resolution A.883(21) on the Global and uniform implementation of the harmonized system of survey and certification (HSSC), a list of certificates and documents* to be carried on board ships, a list of resolutions adopted by the aforementioned SOLAS Conferences and the text of regulation 12-2 of chapter II-1 of SOLAS The operational requirements contained in this consolidated text are, in general, applicable to all ships, whilst the requirements for ship construction and equipment apply to ships constructed on or after the dates specified in the various regulations To identify construction and equipment requirements applicable to ships constructed before 2001, previous texts of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, the 1988 SOLAS Protocol and the amendments to the Convention should be consulted For instance, special requirements for existing passenger ships are contained only in part F * The list of certificates includes brief descriptions of the purpose of all certificates and documents specified therein for the purpose of assisting shore staff, officials and shipmasters in evaluating the documents and certificates, which are necessary for port State control and for the smooth operation of ships in ports vi Foreword of chapter II-2 of the original 1974 SOLAS Convention but neither in chapter II-2 of the 1981 amendments nor in this consolidated text Those provisions of chapter I and of the appendix to the annex to the 1974 SOLAS Convention which have been modified by the 1988 SOLAS P88 No similar symbol is shown for Protocol are indicated by the symbol & provisions of the 1974 SOLAS Convention which were modified by the 1978 SOLAS Protocol because, whilst, in respect of chapter I of the Convention, the provisions thereof have been replaced and abrogated by the 1988 SOLAS Protocol, as between Parties to the Protocol, for provisions in other chapters of the Convention, they have been superseded by SOLAS amendments subsequently adopted In general, this publication reproduces the text of the 1974 SOLAS Convention and the 1988 SOLAS Protocol and includes the modifications and amendments thereto given in their authentic texts In addition, it includes some minor editorial changes, which, while not altering the substance, aim at achieving a degree of consistency between the texts of the 1974 SOLAS Convention and the 1988 SOLAS Protocol and the various SOLAS amendments In particular: while the decimal numbering system is used for paragraphs and subparagraphs of regulations in chapters II-1, II-2, III, IV, V, VI and VII, which were completely rewritten in the 1981, 1983, 1988, 1991 and 2000 amendments, the original numbering system is retained in chapters I and VIII; the references to regulations, paragraphs and chapters in the texts adopted in the 1981 and subsequent amendments use an abbreviated form (e.g ‘‘regulation II-2/55.5’’), whereas the original reference system is retained in unamended regulations (e.g ‘‘regulation of this chapter’’, ‘‘paragraph (a) of this regulation’’, etc.); the term tons gross tonnage has been replaced by the term gross tonnage in view of the Assembly’s decision (resolution A.493(XII)) that the term tons gross tonnage used in IMO instruments should be considered as having the same meaning as gross tonnage as determined under the 1969 Tonnage Convention; and metric values of the SI system have been used in accordance with resolution A.351(IX) Status of footnotes The footnotes given in this consolidated text (which not, as noted by the MSC, form part of the Convention but are inserted for ease of reference) refer to codes, guidelines and recommendations relating to a particular text and were updated by the Secretariat at the time of vii International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 publication In addition, certain explanatory footnotes have been inserted based on relevant texts of codes, guidelines, recommendations and other decisions of the MSC In all cases, the reader must make use of the latest versions of the referenced texts, bearing in mind that such texts may have been revised or superseded by updated material since publication of this consolidated edition of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended viii Contents Part Articles of the International Convention for the Safety of

the forward perpendicular for the purpose of SOLAS regulation II-1/10 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-ninth session (11 to 22 May 1998), noted that on some ships the position of the forward perpendicular had been altered by the addition of a steel plate or very light steel structure between the stem and the bulbous bow, which altered the position of the intersection of the stem with the waterline thereby altering the position of the forward measuring point In the case of such ships, it resulted in bulkheads and bow ramps, which in the first instance would appear to be wrongly located according to SOLAS regulation II-1/10 before these modifications, being deemed by Administrations to be correctly located The Committee considered that such a practice was not within the spirit of SOLAS regulation II-1/10 and agreed to the following interpretation of the position of the forward perpendicular for the purpose of SOLAS regulation II-1/10: "The forward perpendicular should be coincident with the foreside of the stem on the deepest subdivision load line, where the stem is the contour of the outer surface of the hull at the forward end and excludes any appendages except a bulbous bow." Member Governments are invited to use the above interpretation when applying SOLAS regulation II1/10 and to bring this interpretation to the attention of parties concerned C:\IMOMAIN\SOLAS\IMOINP\CIRCS\CIRC855W.DOC Important: Click here for information about this Circular INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION ALBERT EMBANKMENT LONDON SE1 7SR E Telephone: 0171-735 7611 Fax: 0171-587 3210 Telex: 23588 IMOLDN G Ref T4/4.01 MSC/Circ.915 June 1999 UNIFIED INTERPRETATIONS OF VAGUE EXPRESSIONS AND OTHER VAGUE WORDING OF SOLAS CHAPTER II-2 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its seventy-first session (19 to 28 May 1999), approved, with a view to ensuring uniform application of the requirements of SOLAS regulations II-2/23, 30, and 42 containing vague wording which is open to diverging interpretations, the unified interpretations prepared by the Sub-Committee on Fire Protection, at its forty-third session, as set out in the annex Member Governments are invited to use the annexed interpretations as guidance when applying relevant provisions of SOLAS chapter II-2 to fire protection construction, installation, arrangements and equipment to be installed on board ships on or after 21 May 1999, in order to fulfill the requirements of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, and to bring these interpretations to the attention of all parties concerned Member Governments are also advised to take into account earlier interpretations to SOLAS chapter II-2 approved by MSC 69, as given in MSC/Circ.847 *** C:\IMOMAIN\SOLAS\IMOINP\CIRCS\CIRC915W.DOC Important: Click here for information about this Circular MSC/Circ.915 ANNEX INTERPRETATIONS OF VAGUE EXPRESSIONS AND OTHER VAGUE WORDING IN SOLAS CHAPTER II-2 Regulations II-2/ 23 and 42 - Structure 23.2.1 and 42.2 Insulation of aluminium decks and interpretation of "load-bearing divisions" If an aluminium deck is tested with insulation installed below the deck, then the result will apply to decks which are bare on the top Aluminium decks may not be provided with deck coverings or insulation on the top unless tested with the deck covering or insulation included, to verify that the 200 °C temperature of the aluminium is not exceeded."
