SOLAS convention


The SOLAS Convention in its successive forms is generally
regarded as the most important of all international
treaties concerning the safety of merchant ships.
The first version was adopted in 1914, in response to the
Titanic disaster, the second in 1929, the third in 1948 and
the fourth in 1960 .
7
SOLAS Convention
Technical provisions:

The main objective of the SOLAS Convention is to specify minimum standards for the construction,
equipment and operation of ships, compatible with their safety.



Flag States are responsible for ensuring that ships under their flag comply with its requirements,
and a number of certificates are prescribed in the Convention as proof that this has been done.
Control provisions also allow Contracting Governments to inspect ships of other Contracting States
if there are clear grounds for believing that the ship and its equipment do not substantially comply
with the requirements of the Convention - this procedure is known as port State control.
The current SOLAS Convention includes Articles setting out general obligations, amendment
procedure and so on, followed by an Annex divided into 12 Chapters.
8
SOLAS Convention
In addition to the SOLAS convention, other documents provide guidance or
further requirements related to SOLAS. These are IMO Codes e.g.

International Safety Management (ISM) Code,

Fire Safety Systems (FSS) Code,

Fire Test Procedures (FTP) Code,

Life-Saving Appliances (LSA) Code


These are stand alone documents made mandatory under SOLAS Chapters and
IMO Resolutions or Circulars. These are referred to in SOLAS and may be

Definitions
 Weathertight means that in any sea conditions water will not penetrate into the
ship.
 Watertight means having scantlings and arrangements capable of preventing the
passage of water in any direction under the head of water likely to occur in intact

 Deadweight is the difference in tonnes between the displacement of a ship in water
of a specific gravity of 1 .025 at the draught corresponding to the assigned summer
freeboard and the lightweight of the ship.
 Lightweight is the displacement of a ship in tonnes without cargo, fuel, Lubricating
oil, ballast water, fresh water and feed water in tanks, consumable stores, and

It is altogether forbidden for oil tankers to discharge oil, oily sludge and oilcontaminated residues from tank washing, or heavily oil-contaminated ballast water.
All oily wastes (mixtures) must be kept on board and stored in so-called slop tanks until
the vessel reaches a reception facility in port.
Furthermore, it is not allowed to discharge bilge water unless it has been properly cleaned
and contains no more than 15 mg of oil per liter.
Clean ballast: the oil content of the effluent does not exceed 15 parts per million

Annex II Regulations for the control of pollution by noxious
liquid substances (NLS) in bulk



Details the discharge criteria and measures for the control of pollution by noxious
liquid substances carried in bulk;
Some 250 substances were evaluated and included in the list appended to the
Convention; the discharge of their residues is allowed only to reception facilities
until certain concentrations and conditions (which vary with the category of
substances) are complied with.
In any case, no discharge of residues containing noxious substances is permitted
within 12 miles of the nearest land.
Annex II
Application


Unless expressly provided otherwise, the provisions of this Annex shall
apply to all ships certified to carry noxious liquid substances in bulk.
Where a cargo subject to the provisions of Annex I of the present
Convention is carried in a cargo space of an NLS tanker, the
appropriate requirements of Annex I of the present Convention shall
also apply.
Annex II, Categories of NLS
Category X:


Noxious Liquid Substances which, if discharged into the sea from tank
cleaning or de-ballasting operations, are deemed to present a major
hazard to either marine resources or human health and, therefore,
justify the prohibition of the discharge into the marine
environment;
Examples of Category A substances: acetone cyanohydrine, acrolein,
carbon disulphide, creosote, cresols, dichlorbenzene, sodium
pentachlorophenate, tetramethyl lead.
Annex II, Categories of NLS
Category Y:
Noxious Liquid Substances which, if discharged into the sea from tank
cleaning or de-ballasting operations, are deemed to present a hazard
to either marine resources or human health or cause harm to
amenities or other legitimate uses of the sea and therefore justify a
limitation on the quality and quantity of the discharge into the marine
environment;
 Examples of Category B substances: acrylonitrile, allyl alcohol, carbon
tetrachloride, chlorobenzene, ethylene dibromide, phenol, trichlor
ethylene.

Annex II, Categories of NLS
Category Z:
 Noxious Liquid Substances which, if discharged into the sea from tank
cleaning or de-ballasting operations, are deemed to present a minor
hazard to either marine resources or human health and therefore
justify less stringent restrictions on the quality and quantity of the
discharge into the marine environment;
 Examples of Category C substances: acetaldehyde, acetic acid, allyl
chloride, amyl acetate, benzene, chlorosulphonic acid, cumene, cyclo
hexane,
Annex II, Certificate

An International Pollution Prevention Certificate for the Carriage of
Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk shall be issued, after an initial or
renewal survey in accordance with the provisions of regulation 8 of
this Annex, to any ship intended to carry Noxious Liquid Substances in
bulk and which is engaged in voyages to ports or terminals under the
jurisdiction of other Parties to the Convention with a maximum validity
of 5 years.
Annex II (P & A) Manual


Every ship certified to carry substances of Category X, Y or Z shall
have on board a Procedures and Arrangements (P & A) Manual
approved by the Administration.
The main purpose of the Manual is to identify for the ships’ officers
the physical arrangements and all the operational procedures with
respect to cargo handling, tank cleaning, slops handling and cargo
tank ballasting and de-ballasting which must be followed in order to
comply with the requirements of this Annex.
118
Annex II, Cargo Record Book
Every ship to which this Annex applies shall be provided with a Cargo Record
Book.
 The Cargo Record Book shall be kept in such a place as to be readily available for
inspection and, except in the case of unmanned ships under tow, shall be kept on
board the ship. It shall be retained for a period of three years after the last entry
has been made.


Both Conventions (SOLAS Chapter VII and MARPOL Annex II) require chemical
tankers built after 1 July 1986 to comply with the international code for the
construction and equipment of ships carrying dangerous chemicals in bulk (IBC
code) but chemical tankers constructed before 1 July 1986 must comply with the
requirements of the Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying
Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (BCH Code) – the predecessor of the IBC Code.
Annex II, Shipboard marine pollution
emergency plan


Every ship of 150 GT and above certified to carry Noxious Liquid
Substances in bulk shall carry on board a shipboard marine pollution
emergency plan for Noxious Liquid Substances approved by the
Administration.
In the case of ships to which regulation 37 of Annex I of the
Convention also applies, such a plan may be combined with the
shipboard oil pollution emergency plan. In this case, the title of such a
plan shall be Shipboard marine pollution emergency plan
