MSC/Circ.1050

SHIPBOARD PLANS FOR FIRE PROTECTION APPLIANCES, LIFE-SAVING APPLIANCES AND MEANS OF ESCAPE.

(adopted on 21 May 2002)

1. The Maritime Safety Committee at its seventy-fifth session (15 to 24 May 2002) noted that SOLAS regulation II-2/15 (which will enter into force on 1 July 2002) requires that fire control plans be permanently exhibited for the guidance of the ship's officers and that a duplicate set of fire control plans or a booklet containing such plans be permanently stored in an enclosure outside the deckhouse for the assistance of shoreside fire-fighting personnel.
