What is Safety of Life at Sea (BOLAS)? <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />SOLAS 2010, effecting many of the older cruise ships, consists of some amendments made in 2006, <br />going into effect on July 1, 2010. They contain new and stricter safety regulations especially for <br />passenger vessels. (Revised passenger ship safety standards and others). <br />One Response to "What is Safety of Life at Sea (BOLAS)?" <br />1. Charles Greene Says: <br />October 15th, 2007 at 11.44 nm <br />What precisely is "restricted use" when referring to combustible materials? Nowhere do I see an <br />explicit forbidding of the use of wood in a superstructure. Virtually anything is combustible under <br />the right conditions. (e.g. 9-11) At some point common sense needs to put the bureaucrats in their <br />place. <br />Below is from SOLAS 1974" <br />"Chapter II-2 -Fire protection, fire detection and fire extinction <br />Includes detailed fire safety provisions for all ships and specific measures for passenger ships, <br />cargo ships and tankers. <br />"They include the following principles: division of the ship into main and vertical zones by <br />thermal and structural boundaries; separation of accommodation spaces from the remainder of the <br />ship by thermal and structural boundaries; restricted use of combustible materials; detection of <br />any fire in the zone of origin; containment and extinction of any fire in the space of origin; <br />protection of the means of escape or of access for fire-fighting purposes; ready availability of fire- <br />extinguishing appliances; minimization of the possibility of ignition of flammable cargo vapour." <br />Leave a ilZeply <br />~- Name (required) <br />- Mail (will not be published) (required) <br />Website <br />~- Spam protection: Sum of 3 + 13 ? <br />Submit Comment <br />http:/Iwww.save-the-delta-queen.org/what-is-safety-of-life-at-sea-sofas/ 10/26/2007 <br />
