650 Interpretation of alterations and modifications of a major character ( SOLAS Ch. II-1 )

Interpretation of alterations and modifications of a major character ( SOLAS Ch. II-1 )

  1. The Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-third session (16 to 25 May 1994), noted that the Sub-Committee on Stability and Load Lines and on Fishing Vessels Safety (SLF), in considering a definition of the term "modification of a major character" in the context of chapter II-1 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, had decided that it should be sufficient to relate the modification, whatever its nature and extent, to its effect on the level of subdivision of the ship. The Committee, therefore, agreed to the following interpretation of alterations and modifications of a major character proposed by the SLF Sub-Committee:
    "Where an existing cargo ship is subject to any modification which affects the level of subdivision of that ship, it should be demonstrated that the A/R ratio calculated for the ship after such modification is not less than the A/R ratio calculated for the ship before the modification. However, in those cases where the ship's A/R ratio before modification is equal to or greater than unity, it is only necessary to demonstrate that the ship after such modification has an 'A' value which is not less than 'R', calculated for the modified ship."

  2. Member Governments are invited to take account of the above interpretation when applying the relevant provisions of chapter II-1 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention.
