The Maritime Safety Committee,

  1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its seventy-seventh session (28 May to 6 June 2003), taking into account that most engine-room fires are the result of the formation of oil mist, that sectors within the shipping industry have been actively fitting oil mist detection equipment and following the recommendation of the forty-seventh session of the Sub-Committee on Fire Protection, approved a Code of practice for atmospheric oil mist detectors set out in the annex.

  2 Member Governments are invited to bring the attached Code of practice to the attention of shipbuilders, shipowners, ship operators, shipmasters and other parties concerned with the manufacture and installation of oil mist detectors.
