SOLAS - What is SOLAS 1974? - SOLAS Convention

In this video, we will discuss SOLAS or SOLAS Convention “Safety Of Life At Sea” Hi! Welcome to my channel Seaman Info Please follow me on my Facebook Page:   / seamaninfo   What is SOLAS Convention? The word SOLAS is an abbreviation and SOLAS full form is “Safety Of Life At Sea”. An international maritime treaty, also known as SOLAS Convention or International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), establishes the least safety measures in the construction, equipment, and operation of merchant ships. The SOLAS Convention in its successive forms is generally regarded as the most important of all international treaties concerning the safety of merchant ships. The first version of the SOLAS Treaty was passed in 1914 in response to the Titanic disaster, which prescribed numbers of lifeboats and other emergency equipment along with safety procedures, including continuous radio watches. The 1974 version includes the tacit acceptance procedure - which provides that an amendment shall enter into force on a specified date unless, before that date, objections to the amendment are received from an agreed number of Parties. As a result, the 1974 Convention has been updated and amended on numerous occasions. The Convention in force today is sometimes referred to as SOLAS, 1974, as amended. Hi!
