The Maritime Safety Committee

  1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-fourth session (5 to 9 December 1994), noted that the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), having considered the possibility and probable causes of explosion in pump rooms on oil tankers, had agreed a Unified Requirement (UR F39) introducing new oil tanker safety requirements.

  2 The Committee, agreeing there was a need to amend the relevant regulations of chapter II-2 of the SOLAS Convention to properly address measures aiming at preventing explosions in tanker cargo pump rooms, prepared a set of requirements, given in annex, with a view to adopting relevant amendments to the Convention at the earliest possible opportunity.

  3 Member Governments are requested to apply the measures contained in the annex to new and existing oil tankers, pending the formal adoption and entry into force of the relevant requirements.
