The IMO has introduced new regulations under two resolutions, MEPC.369(80) and MEPC.383(81), which will come into effect in 2025. These amendments impact shipowners, operators, and managers, requiring changes to the format of Ballast Water Record Books (BWRB) and introducing mandatory electronic record-keeping. By February 1, 2025, ships must adopt the new format for BWRBs, and by October 1, 2025, electronic BWRBs must meet IMO standards, with proper approvals and declarations in place. #marineexperts #marine #marineengineer #maritime #maritime_family #shipinspection #vesselinspection #classificationsociety #statutorysurvey #safetyandquality #OMCS #overseasmarinecertificationservices #recognizedorganization #ShipClassification #vessel5d

Reality of REST HOURS of Seafarers.... https://lnkd.in/gxmcTEtz It is time for IMO to revise PRINCIPLES OF MINIMUM SAFE MANNING Res A.1047(27) Adopted on 30 November 2011 AND plug the holes that FLAG States use to issue a Min Safe Manning which in fact is = UNSAFE Manning. PSC officers should device adequate means, including interviewing seafarers to assess whether the record of REST HOURS is real or FABRICATED and detain vessels where records are fabricated. Incidents at sea can't be minimized if Seafarers do not get adequate REST.....period. https://lnkd.in/gMT2xHa4

In response to the increasing concerns over the number of containers lost at sea in recent years, IACS has adopted two new Unified Requirements, UR C6 and UR C7, to enhance the cargo securing arrangements of container ships. Although collective efforts to reduce container losses have seen reductions in recent years the need for ongoing vigilance and enhanced standards for container securing systems remains clear. By introducing these two critical and complementary Unified Requirements (URs)—UR C6 and UR C7—will help mitigate the risks of accidents and cargo loss, and thus enhancing maritime safety and the protection of the marine environment: ➡️ UR C6 provides requirements for lashing software. ➡️ UR C7 provides minimum requirements for the approval and certification of container securing systems. These regulations will be uniformly implemented by IACS Member Societies on ships contracted for construction on or after 1 July 2025 and are designed to address key industry concerns and further strengthen maritime safety standards.

I fully support the urgent need for IMO to revise the PRINCIPLES OF MINIMUM SAFE MANNING (Res A.1047(27)). However, I believe a name change is also required. We should start calling it "Lowest Allowable Crewing" instead of "Minimum Safe Manning." This change would better reflect the reality: many vessels are manned at levels that barely meet operational needs, let alone allow for proper rest and safety. Moreover, Port State Control (PSC) should approach rest hours records with a critical eye. Instead of merely accepting these records at face value, the burden of proof should be on the vessel to demonstrate that the recorded rest hours are actually feasible. Real safety comes from ensuring rest hours are accurate and enforced, not just ticking boxes. If seafarers aren't rested, we simply cannot minimise incidents at sea. #SeafarersWelfare #SafeManning #IMO #FatigueManagement

The IMO Maritime Safety Committee held its 108th session from May 15-24 (MSC 108). As expected, during this session, new SOLAS regulations and Fire Safety Systems Code (FSS Code) were adopted, which take effect 1 Jan 2026. Among the new regulations, ro-ro passenger (ro-pax) ships will soon be required to protect the ship’s weather decks intended for the carriage of vehicles to be protected by fire detectors and water-based fire monitors. Here is a summary of how the new regulations affect ro-ro (ro-pax) ships : Effective 1 Jan 2026: * Ro-ro passenger ships (ro-pax) built on or after 1 Jan 2026 will be required to protect the ship’s weather decks with fire detectors and water-based fire monitors. * All ships built before 1 Jan 2026 must also protect the weather decks with water-based fire monitors and should be protected by fire detectors. They must be in compliance by their first audit on/after 1 Jan 208.

Maritime Safety Under Scrutiny: Key Bridge Incident Sparks Congressional Hearing When the Dali sailed out of the Port of Baltimore, it was escorted by tugboats. Once the ship entered the channel, the tugs peeled off—a normal practice according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). However, just 19 minutes later, the pilots lost steering capabilities and called for a tug assist, but it was too late as the tugboat was already three miles away. During a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing, Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-Arkansas) questioned if the presence of a tug escort could have prevented the collision with the Key Bridge. NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy and Coast Guard Vice Admiral Peter Gautier stated that the investigation is ongoing, and it's too early to draw conclusions. The hearing focused on the federal response to the Key Bridge collapse and potential maritime safety improvements. Key topics included the effectiveness of tug escorts, standards for foreign-flagged vessels, and crew fatigue. Rep. Mike Ezell (R-Mississippi) and other committee members discussed whether harbor tugs should escort large ships through larger channels. Gautier mentioned that tug escort requirements vary by port and are determined by local safety committees. Concerns were also raised about flag-of-convenience (FOC) vessels. The Dali, flagged in Singapore, sparked debate on the reliability of foreign-flagged ships versus U.S.-flagged ships under the Jones Act. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-California) emphasized the higher safety standards for U.S.-flagged vessels, while Rev. Joshua Messick noted that many FOC vessels meet or exceed international standards. Crew fatigue was another critical issue. Captain Jim Staples highlighted the reduction in crew sizes despite larger and faster ships, stressing the need for more manpower to prevent fatigue-related errors. The NTSB's preliminary findings suggest routine maintenance errors might have contributed to the incident. Governor Moore called these findings "troubling" and pledged accountability. As investigations continue, the hearing underscored the importance of understanding and addressing maritime safety risks to prevent future incidents. #MaritimeSafety #PortOfBaltimore #NTSB #KeyBridgeIncident #TugEscorts #CrewFatigue #JonesAct #FOCVessels #MaritimeRegulations #CongressionalHearing
