THE UN's International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has
approved new rules covering ship design, construction, equipment, training,
search and rescue and environmental matters relevant for vessels in polar
waters.
The IMO's maritime safety committee also "completed
the legal framework for implementation of the mandatory IMO audit scheme, to
make mandatory use of the IMO Instruments Implementation Code and auditing of
parties to those treaties".
Under the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), the committee also
adopted amendments on inert gas systems, as well as amendments to a number of
treaties, to make IMO audits mandatory, reported London's Tanker Operator.
MSC approved the draft new SOLAS chapter XIV safety
measures for ships operating in polar waters', which would make mandatory the
introduction of the International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (the
Polar Code).
