8 Ships constructed to resolution A.265(VIII)

 The subdivision and stability requirements of resolution A.265(VIII) should be regarded as fully equivalent to the subdivision and stability standards represented by the SOLAS 90 standard adopted by resolution MSC.12(56). Therefore, ships constructed, or modified, such that they are in full compliance with the provisions of resolution A.265(VIII), should be considered to have a survivability standard equal to that provided by the SOLAS 90 standard. As a consequence, such ships need not be subject to any upgrading process, and should not be considered as part of any A/Amax calculation exercise.
