Foreword

 Experience with the application of chapter VI of SOLAS 1974 over a period of twelve years has indicated that it would be beneficial to clarify, expand upon, or otherwise explain certain regulations and sections thereof, in order to insure uniform implementation on all ships subject thereto. The following guidelines have been prepared to accomplish this purpose. They are not intended as new or additional regulations but, instead, are furnished for the guidance of approval agencies, port authorities, surveyors, and others responsible for the utilization of chapter VI.
