SLS.14/Circ.1 Record of Approved equipment

Record of approved cargo ship safety equipment

1. The Maritime Safety Committee at its forty-second session received a model form of a Record of Approved Cargo Ship Safety Equipment adopted by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) shown overleaf to this note.
   
   
2. The document will be completed by member Societies of IACS when the Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate of the 1974 SOLAS Convention will be issued for the first time following the initial survey by that Society of new and existing cargo ships and of cargo ships transferring register.
   
   
3. The document is to be permanently kept on board and kept up to date for use at subsequent surveys for renewal and as a reference for ships' personnel in maintaining equipment.
   
   
4. The Committee agreed that such document would be very useful and also encouraged Contracting Governments to the 1974 SOLAS Convention which have not authorized IACS Member Societies as agents to use the form of record and to place completed forms on board the ship. This would be of assistance not only at subsequent surveys but also as a reference for port states exercising control of ships. The Committee expressed the hope that eventually all cargo ships under the 1974 SOLAS Convention would have such records on board.
