Gas Detection Instruments - New Requirements
Don’t forget that the new requirements for gas detection instruments come into force on July 1 2016.
The regulations (SOLAS regulation XI-1/7 – MSC.1/Circ.1477 and MSC.1/Circ.1485) require all ships engaged in international voyages to carry at least one portable gas detection instrument on board.
If a detector is not on board you may be subject to PSC detention.
