Examples of SOLAS 90 in a sentence
However, this would require that SOLAS 2020 provides an equivalent level of safety to SOLAS 90 + Stockholm Agreement.
It effectively requires ship designs to comply with two different regulatory approaches; the probabilistic SOLAS 2020 requirements and the deterministic requirements according to SOLAS 90 + Stockholm Agreement.
The abovementioned research projects demonstrated that SOLAS 2009 did not provide an equivalent level of safety to SOLAS 90 + Stockholm Agreement.
The Stockholm Agreement stability requirements are complementary to the SOLAS 90 standard, aimed at increasing the survivability of the ro-ro vessels in sea states between 1,5 m and 4 m significant wave height.
Paragraph 1 As a first step all ro-ro passenger ships referred to in Article 3(1) of this Directive must comply with the SOLAS 90 standard of residual stability as it applies to all passenger ships constructed on or after 29 April 1990.
The stability of ro-ro passenger ships has been addressed at international level by the International Maritime Organisation and specific standards have been established in that respect, particularly on the basis of the SOLAS 90 Convention24 and Resolution A265.
As for their enforcement, the Agreement provided for a phasing-in period ranging from 1 April 1997 for ro-ro passenger ships with the lowest A/Amax values, to 1 October 2002 for ships already complying with the SOLAS 90 stability standard.
Therefore, Directive 2003/25/EC in combination with the requirements laid down into SOLAS 90 needed to be maintained in addition to the SOLAS 2009 requirements, thereby imposing more stringent damage stability requirements for ro-ro passenger ships sailing to or from EU ports20.
In simplified terms, the SA standards are complementary to SOLAS 90 standards with the addition of technical requirements to satisfy explicitly the “water in the car deck” probability.
This means full compliance of these vessels with the SOLAS 90 stability requirements, an obligation from which they are presently exempted.
