Abstract

 

The paper presents the results of research on the development of amendments to the RS requirements for survey of fishing vessels. The research is based on the analysis of international regulatory documents (Council Directive 97/70 ЕС of 11.12.97 with amendments; the Cape Town Agreement 2012, Torremolinos Protocol 1993, Torremolinos IC for the safety of fishing vessels of 1977) and their comparison with the existing requirements specified in Part II "Life-Saving Appliances", III "Signal Means", IV "Radio Equipment" and V "Navigational Equipment" of the Rules or the Equipment of Sea-Going Ships, Section 18, Part III "Additional Surveys of Ships depending on their Purpose and Hull Material" of the Rules for the Classification Surveys of Ships in Service, Part III "Survey of Ships in Compliance with International Conventions, Codes, Resolutions and Rules for the Equipment of Sea-Going Ships" of the Guidelines on Technical Supervision of Ships in Service. In the latter case, the research has included the survey requirements taking into account the structure of the requirements of the STORM checklist, as well as those set out in IMO resolution A.1140(31). In addition, existing requirements have been collected and analyzed based on the fishing vessels survey requirements from rules of other classification societies. Additional requirements of Maritime Administrations for fishing vessels have also been taken into consideration.

 

Keywords: fishing vessel, survey, Rules for the Classification Surveys of Ships in Service, Rules or the Equipment of Sea-Going Ships, Guidelines on Technical Supervision of Ships in Service, STORM system.
