Effective from January 1, 2024, significant amendments to SOLAS Chapters III/IV/V and the HSC Code, introduced by MSC.496(105) and 499(105), are ushering in new templates for recording safety radio and equipment details in relevant safety certificates.

The new format introduced for the safety certificates will require a coordinated issuance of all affected certificates to ensure a consistent representation of the vessel. Consequently, any issuance of the relevant safety certificates, including either safety equipment records or safety radio records, will trigger a re-issuance of all relevant safety certificates, which may also include safety equipment or the safety radio.

Lessons learned from an incident in which, the lid on a waste container barrel blew off due to a build-up of excessive pressure within the waste container, caused by hot ash being deposited inside.

The incident occurred when a vessel was headed to the pontoon to moor alongside her regular berth. As the vessels’ aft port quarter came alongside the pontoon, the deckhand used the boat hook to pick up the ‘in-situ’ mooring line and began the process of feeding the spliced eye through the fairlead. He then began placing the line over the bitts, this is where the deckhands’ fingers on his right hand became trapped, and serious injuries were sustained to three fingers.
