Stowage and Securing of Dangerous Goods Manual Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing, 2003 Edition

The Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing was adopted by the Assembly of IMO at its seventeenth regular session (November 1991) by resolution A.714(17). The Assembly recommended that Governments implement the Code at the earliest possible opportunity and requested the MSC to keep it under review and amend it as necessary. This has been done.

The first major changes to the Code were the amendments to MSC/Circ.664, adopted in December 1994, and MSC/Circ.691, adopted in May 1995, which were published as the 1994/1995 Amendments to the Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing, introducing annex 13, which has been incorporated into this consolidated edition.

The present edition also includes amendments to annex 12, on safe stowage and securing of unit loads, issued as MSC/Circ.740 in June 1996, and amendments adopted by the MSC in May 2002, issued as MSC/Circ.1026, which saw significant changes in the contents of annex 13. Circular 1026 also includes an extension on the scope of application recommending all lashing assemblies to be fixed to strong or fixed points, a new table on friction coefficients and new texts on an advanced calculation method and an alternative method on balance of forces.

The book contains, as appendices, various texts which have been issued by the Organization and are considered relevant to cargo stowage and securing.

SOLAS consolidated edition SOLAS - Consolidated Edition, 2009

Of all the international conventions dealing with maritime safety, the most important is the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended, better known as SOLAS , which covers a wide range of measures designed to improve the safety of shipping.

The Convention is also one of the oldest of its kind: the first version was adopted in 1914 following the sinking of the Titanic with the loss of more than 1,500 lives. Since then there have been four more versions of SOLAS. The present version was adopted in 1974 and entered into force in 1980.

In order to provide an easy reference to all SOLAS requirements applicable from 1 July 2009, this edition presents a consolidated text of the SOLAS Convention, its Protocols of 1978 and 1988 and all amendments in effect from that date.

The fully updated 2009 edition features a number of new SOLAS regulations, adopted after the last consolidated edition of the Convention was published. Of these, particular attention is drawn to regulation V/19-1 on long-range identification and tracking of ships (LRIT), regulation II-1/3-8 on mooring and towing equipment and regulation II-1/35-1 on bilge pumping arrangements. The SOLAS provisions for corrosion protection have been updated and expanded and the new requirements are incorporated in chapter II-1. Furthermore, chapter II- 1 was comprehensively revised to include probabilistic requirements for subdivision and damage stability and now also has a new Part F concerning alternative designs and arrangements. The annex to the Convention regarding the SOLAS forms of certificates contains the fully revised safety certificates for nuclear passenger and cargo ships and the list of certificates and documents required to be carried on board ships, as revised, is also added.

The SOLAS Consolidated Edition 2009 is an essential reference for maritime administrations, ship manufacturers, owners and operators, shipping companies, education institutes and all others concerned with requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea.

international Ship & Port Facility Security Code International Ship & Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, 2003

The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) was adopted by a Conference of Contracting Governments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, convened in London from 9 to 13 December 2002.

The Code aims, among other things, to establish an international framework for co-operation between Contracting Governments, Government agencies, local administrations and the shipping and port industries to detect security threats and take preventive measures against security incidents affecting ships or port facilities used in international trade and to establish relevant roles and responsibilities at the national and international level. These objectives are to be achieved by the designation of appropriate personnel on each ship, in each port facility and in each ship owning company to make assessments and to put into effect the security plans that will be approved for each ship and port facility.

The Conference also adopted several related resolutions and amendments to chapters V and XI (now divided into chapters XI-1 and XI-2) of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended. Under the new chapter XI-2, which provides the umbrella regulations, the ISPS Code will become mandatory on 1 July 2004.

The Code is divided into two parts. Part A presents mandatory requirements, part B recommendatory guidance regarding the provisions of chapter XI-2 of the Convention and part A of the Code.

This publication includes the ISPS Code, relevant amendments to the SOLAS Convention and other resolutions of the Conference relating to work that must be completed before the Code can be implemented in 2004, revision of the Code, technical co-operation and co-operative work with the International Labour Organization and the World Customs Organization.

classification of chemicals manualGlobally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) - Third Revised Edition

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) focuses on the classification of chemicals by the types of hazards that they present. It also proposes standard hazard communication elements such as labels and safety data sheets. This publication aims at ensuring that information on physical hazards and acute toxicity from chemicals is made available, in order to enhance the protection of human health and the environment during the handling, transport, and use, of these chemicals. The GHS also provides a basis for harmonization of rules and regulations on chemicals at national, regional and world-wide level, an important factor for trade facilitation. This publication is extremely useful for national and regional governments as well as for those in industries that will ultimately implement the requirements that have been adopted.

The Third Edition GHS, published in July 2009, takes into account all these amendments which concern, inter alia:

  • new provisions for the allocation of hazard statements;
  • new provisions for the labelling of small packagings;
  • two new sub-categories for respiratory and skin sensitization;
  • the revision of the classification criteria for long-term hazards (chronic toxicity) to the aquatic environment; and
  • a new hazard class for substances and mixtures hazardous to the ozone layer.
