SUMMARY:SOLAS III MSC.482(103) (SOLAS Chapt III) MSC.485(103) (LSA Code) MSC.488(103) (Amends MSC.81(70)
DESCRIPTION:All Ships equipped with free fall lifeboat\, \nAmendments to SOLAS Chapter III\, the LSA Code and MSC 81(70) as amended\, and MSC Circular on voluntary early implementation of the amendments \nSOLAS regulation III/33.2 and paragraph 4.4.1.3.2 of the LSA Code currently refers to ‘lifeboats’ which could be read as ‘all lifeboats including free-fall lifeboats (FFLB)’. The IMO agreed that the text should be clarified so that this regulation should only be applicable to davit-launched lifeboats. These amendments to SOLAS regulation III/33.2 and para 4.4.1.3.2 of the LSA Code remove the requirement to launch free-fall lifeboats with the ship making headway at speeds up to 5 knots in calm water.

SUMMARY:SOLAS II MSC.474(102)
DESCRIPTION:All ships with more than one cargo hold constructed on or after 1 January 2024\, \n\n\n\nAmendments to SOLAS chapter II-1\, requirements for water level detectors on multiple hold cargo ships other than bulk carriers and tankers \nNew regulation II-1/25-1 was adopted by MSC 103 with the intent to capture all ships – except for bulk carriers – which are currently not required to have a water level detection alarm. The requirement applies to the ships irrespective of length\, presence of wing tanks or applied damage stability standard. Bilge alarms\, which are commonly installed on cargo ships that do not carry bulk cargoes\, will no longer exclusively fulfil the requirements of the proposed new regulation\, and additional detectors will be required to do so. As this is not retrospectively applied\, this gives owners and builders time to gain awareness and understand the commercial ramifications of this regulation. New SOLAS regulation II-1/25-1 deviates from SOLAS II-1/25\, in that\, the latter is dependent on the ship’s length which is not the case for the newly proposed regulation. Therefore\, a review of SOLAS II-1/25 could be expected in the future to maintain consistency.

SUMMARY:ESP Code MSC.483(103)
DESCRIPTION:New and existing double hull oil tankers \nAmendments to the 2011 ESP Code\, 2011\, as amended by resolution MSC.461(101) \nTo evaluate the actual wastage while undertaking thickness measurements of the areas identified in annex B\, part A\, annex 2 of the 2011 ESP Code\, as amended by resolution MSC.461(101) at the first renewal survey; extensive data collection from oil tankers was undertaken by the industry and presented to the IMO for consideration. Deliberations over the analysis of this data resulted in a consensus that the normal range of reported wastage was minimal and\, as such\, amending the first renewal survey requirements to include only “suspect areas” was proposed. The amendment deems it sufficient to consider only suspect areas for thickness measurements of the areas identified\, at the first renewal survey of double hull oil tankers.

SUMMARY:MARPOL VI MEPC.328(76)
DESCRIPTION:All ships subject to SEEMP \nAmendments to Chapter 4 of Marpol Annex VI – Mandatory goal-based technical and operational measures to reduce carbon intensity of international shipping \nAmendments introduce a goal based short-term measure in which an Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and inservice carbon intensity management are functional requirements. New regulation 23 (attained EEXI) and 25 (required EEXI) require existing ships to improve their technical efficiency\, so they are comparable to an equivalent new ship of the same type and deadweight which would be required to comply with the applicable EEDI Phase. New regulation 28 (operational carbon intensity) requires a linear reduction in the in-service carbon intensity of ships between 2023 and 2030\, such that the global fleet achieves an average reduction of at least 40% by 2030 when compared with 2008.
