ro passenger ships carrying 400 passengers or more. This is intended to phase out ships
built to a one-compartment standard and ensure that they can survive without capsizing
with two main compartments flooded following damage.
Amendments to other Chapters in the SOLAS Convention included changes to Chapter III,
which deals with life saving appliances and arrangements, including the addition of a
section requiring ro-ro passenger ships to be fitted with public address systems, a
regulation providing improved requirements for life-saving appliances and arrangements
and a requirement for all passenger ships to have full information on the details of
passengers on board and requirements for the provision of a helicopter pick-up or landing
area.
Other amendments were made to Chapter IV (radiocommunications); Chapter V (safety of
navigation) - including a requirement that all ro-ro passenger ships should have an
established working language - and Chapter VI (carriage of cargoes).
The conference also adopted a resolution which permits regional arrangements to be made
on special safety requirements for ro-ro passenger ships.
The June 1996 amendments
Adoption: 4 June 1996
Entry into force: 1 July 1998
A completely revised Chapter III on life-saving appliances and arrangements was adopted.
The amendments take into account changes in technology since the Chapter had been last
re-written in 1983.
Many of the technical requirements were transferred to a new International Life-Saving
Appliance (LSA) Code, applicable to all ships built on or after 1 July 1998. Some of the
amendments apply to existing ships as well as new ones.
Other SOLAS Chapters were also amended.
In Chapter II-1, a new part A-1 dealing with the structure of ships was added. Regulation
3-1 requires ships to be designed, constructed and maintained in compliance with
structural requirements of a recognized classification society or with applicable
requirements by the Administration. Regulation 3-2 deals with corrosion prevention of
seawater ballast tanks and other amendments to Chapter II-1 concern the stability of
passenger and cargo ships in the damaged condition.
In Chapter VI, Regulation 7 was replaced by a new text dealing with the loading, unloading
and stowage of bulk cargoes. It is intended to ensure that no excessive stress is placed on
the ship's structure during such operations. The ship must be provided with a booklet
giving advice on cargo handling operations and the master and terminal representative
must agree on a plan to ensure that loading and unloading is carried out safely.
In Chapter XI, an amendment was made regarding authorization of recognized
organizations.
The International Bulk Chemicals (IBC) and Bulk Chemicals (BCH) Codes were also
amended. The IBC Code is mandatory under SOLAS and applies to ships carrying
dangerous chemicals in bulk that were built after 1 July 1986. The BCH is recommended
and applies to ships built before that date.
The December 1996 amendments
Adoption: 6 December 1996
Entry into force: 1 July 1998
Chapter II-2 was considerably modified, with changes to the general introduction, Part B
(fire safety measures for passenger ships), Part C (fire safety measures for cargo ships)
and Part D (fire safety measures for tankers). The changes made mandatory a new
