Statement by the Government of the Netherlands

The Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation has the honour to transmit herewith the text of a statement by the Government of the Netherlands under the provisions of Regulation 5, Chapter I of the above Convention

This text replaces the first statement contained in SLS.14/Circ.2 of 19 June 1980

The Secretary-General would be grateful if steps could be taken to bring this information to the attention of the appropriate authorities.


Statement by the Government of the Netherlands

Regulation 35 of Chapter III of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 provides that every cargo ship, with certain exceptions, shall carry lifeboats on each side of the ship of such aggregate capacity as will accommodate all persona on board and in addition shall carry liferafts sufficient to accommodate half that number.

The Government of the Netherlands gives notification of the acceptance of the following equivalent arrangement under the provisions of Regulation 5 Chapter I of the above Convention:

"Cargo vessels of 500 gross tonnage and upwards but with a length. between the perpendiculars, as defined in Regulation 3(1) of Annex I of the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966 not exceeding 75 metres, may be equipped with liferafts on each side of the ship of such aggregate capacity as will accommodate all persons on board and shall carry in addition a boat of an approved type for use in case of man-overboard

In accepting this equivalent arrangement the Government of the Netherlands has taken account of the experience gained since 1955 from fishing vessels and cargo vessels of less than 500 gross tonnage which have been equipped with liferafts in combination with a man overboard boat in place of lifeboats.
