Development to SOLAS Chapter XV and IP CODE “SAFETY MEASURE FOR SHIPS CARRYING INDUSTRIAL PERSONNEL” implemented on July 1st 2024
17 Jul. 2024

1. As the maritime and energy industries are expanding, there's a rising need for safe transportation of industrial personnel to and from vessels and offshore facilities. However, concerns had been raised in relation to the current IMO standards due to the absence of a clear definition of industrial personnel and the lack of international safety standards for transporting them.


2. To address these concerns, the SOLAS Chapter XV and International Code of Safety for Ships Carrying Industrial Personnel (IP Code) were adopted by the Maritime Safety Committee at its 106th session and entered into force on July 1st 2024. It aims to meet industry demands and enhance safety by providing international standards for ships carrying industrial personnel, ensuring safe transportation and personnel transfer.

3. Accordingly, this technical information was issued to share with the relevant stakeholders such as shipowners, manufacturers and surveyors for reference in their respective tasks.
