GlobalMET represented its members at the 8th session of the IMO Sub-Committee on Ship Systems and Equipment (SSE). The meeting was held from 28 February to 4 March 2022. A revision of IMO model course 3.03 (survey of machinery installations) was initiated. Draft new ventilation requirements for lifeboats and liferafts, and draft new guidelines for the design, construction, installation, testing, maintenance and operation of lifting appliances and anchor handling winches were agreed upon. Progress continued to be made on the new mandatory requirements to minimize the incidence and consequences of fires on ro-ro passenger ships, and on the work to improve the safety of commercial diving operations.
Several GlobalMET members attended this meeting. Details can be found in the report published in the GlobalMET Newsletter.
