Life Saving Equipment For Bulk Carriers (EDM1713)

Life Saving Equipment For Bulk Carriers

EDM number 1713 in 2003-04, proposed by Edward O'Hara on 12/10/2004.

That this House notes with grave concern the continuing loss of mariners' lives in the sinking of bulk carriers; observes that this is essentially because such vessels, when laden with typical bulk, cargo, sink more rapidly than other types of vessel, affording the crew little time to deploy life-saving equipment; notes therefore with regret the recent report of the Ship Design and Equipment Sub-committee to keep in abeyance proposed amendments to Safety of Life at Sea Chapter III, requiring bulk carriers to carry free-fall lifeboats with float-free capability pending the availablity of relevant technology; observes that given that the technology exists there is no excuse for it not being made available; and calls upon the IMO to enforce the installation of free-fall lifeboats with float-free capability in all bulk carriers, and further to move towards the development and fitting of float-off accommodation modules to such vessels.

This motion has been signed by a total of 50 MPs.
