Deviation from this normal service condition may be permitted for ships with special propulsion and power configurations, such as diesel-electric systems 72 SOLAS II-2 FSS Code Breathing apparatus MSC.338(91) MSC.339(91) H M S All Ships 500 N 1 7 2014 KL on after 1 7 2014 In addition to the indicating unit located on the fire control station, an additional indicating unit shall be located in the cargo control rooms. 73 Revised LSA Code MSC.320(89) MSC.81(70) H M S All Ships 500 R DD 1 7 2014 KL before 1 7 2014 Paragraphs 4.4.7.6.4 thru 4.4.7.6.6 require the release mechanism for on-load release and retrieval systems to be stable such that, when the hook is fully reset in the closed position, the weight of the lifeboat does not cause any force to be transmitted to the operating mechanism. The locking devices are to be arranged so that they cannot turn-to-open due to forces from the hook load. If a hydrostatic interlock is provided, it shall automatically reset upon lifting the boat from the water. 74 SOLAS III On-load Release Gear MSC.317(89) MSC.320(89) H M S All Ships 500 R DD 1 7 2014 KL before 1 7 2014 The release mechanism for on-load release and retrieval systems is to comply with the new retroactive safety provisions contained in paragraphs 4.4.7.6.4 thru 4.4.7.6.6 of MSC.320(89). The evaluation procedure (design assessment and testing) for existing systems is contained in MSC.1/Circ.1392. 75 SOLAS V/19.2 ECDIS MSC.282(86) H M S Pass >12 500 R FS 1 7 2014 KL before 1 7 2012 Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) is to be fitted onboard unless the ship is to be decommissioned within two years of the compliance date. 76 SOLAS V/19.2 Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS) MSC.282(86) MSC.283(86) H M S Cargo 150 < 500 R FS 1 7 2014 KL before 1 7 2011 A bridge navigational watch alarm system (a system to monitor bridge activity and detect operator disability which could lead to marine accidents) complying with the standards contained in MSC.128(75) is required to be installed onboard and shall be in operation whenever the ship is underway at sea. A BNWAS installed prior to 1 July 2011 to monitor bridge activity and detect operator disability which could lead to marine accidents may subsequently be exempted from full compliance with the standards contained in MSC.128(75). As the BNWAS is classified as a bridge alarm, the 2nd and 3rd stage remote alarm is to be connected to the VDR as per resolutions A.861(20) and A.1021(26).
