2 Ship types

  2.1 The ship types in the table are the following:

  • .1 passenger ships carrying more than 36 passengers:

    – constructed before 1 October 1994 but not including the 1960 SOLAS ships. However, this category includes also the ships complying with resolution A.122(V); and

    constructed on or after 1 October 1994;

  • .2 passenger ships carrying not more than 36 passengers constructed on or after 1 September 1984; and

  • .3 cargo ships constructed on or after 1 September 1984.

  2.2 Ships constructed to the 1960 SOLAS Convention, or earlier conventions, are not considered in these Guidelines because the applicable regulations do not clearly specify the details of the construction and fire integrity of accommodation areas. When such older ships are modified, the latest SOLAS requirements are used.
