THE ASSEMBLY,
RECALLING Article 15(j) of the Convention on the
International Maritime Organization concerning the functions of the Assembly in relation
to regulations and guidelines concerning maritime safety,
RECALLING ALSO that, while regulations III/40.7.1 and 41.9.2 of the
International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, require the ship's name
and port of registry to be marked on rigid liferafts and lifeboats, there are no such
requirements therein for marking inflatable liferafts,
RECOGNIZING that properly marked inflatable liferafts may considerably
facilitate the initiation or effective conduct of a search and rescue operation or the
determination as to whether such an operation is necessary,
NOTING that a simple and inexpensive means of ship identification in
cases mentioned above has been developed,
HAVING
CONSIDERED the recommendation made by the Maritime Safety Committee at its sixtieth
session,
INVITES Governments to require that:
(a) inflatable liferafts carry a means of
identification showing the name and port of registry of the ship to which the inflatable
liferaft belongs;
(b) the identification can
be easily updated, without opening the inflatable liferaft container; and
(c) to the extent practicable, existing
inflatable liferafts are also marked in the same manner.
