ASBESTOS BAN ON BOARD SHIPS
The new amendment to SOLAS II-1 (2005)/3-5.2, MSC.282(86) which came into force
on
1 January 2011 prohibits without any exemption any new installation of
materials which contain asbestos. (SOLAS, MSC.282(86)). This applies for all
new buildings and existing ships with 500 GT and above.
The mandatory requirement is also reflected in the new IMO Convention for Safe

Diplomatic Conference in 2009 in Hong Kong and is expected to come into force
in 2015. The aim is to prevent hazardous working conditions and to ensure

Materials" (IHM) on

the vessel's structure and
equipment as like asbestos, PCB, Ozone Depleting Substances and TBT. (SOLAS
