IMO considers new safety rules in wake of Concordia accident

摘要

The issue will be debated at the next Maritime Safety Committee meeting in June following continuing work on its long-term action plan on passenger ship safety, following consideration of the outcome of the Sub-Committee on Implementation of IMO Instruments on the casualty report on the Costa Concordia and other proposals received. The updated long-term action plan includes, among others, a new item on the possible extension, to existing passenger ships, of the SOLAS requirement relating to computerised stability support for the master in case of flooding and a new item on watertight doors maintenance.
