The course is intended for seafarers on board ships carrying solid bulk cargoes, and personnel involved in the transport chain of solid bulk cargoes, such as officials of the competent authorities, port authorities, port terminals, mine operators, shippers, technicians and shipping company’s representatives, as well as all personnel involved in the assessment of acceptability of consignments of solid bulk cargoes according to the IMSBC Code.

Workbook (sold separately), with quick lashing guides for transport on road and in sea areas A, B and C.

This model course aims to meet the mandatory minimum requirements for the training of personnel providing direct service to passengers in passenger spaces on board Passenger ships specified in regulation V/2 and section A-V/2 of the STCW Code. On successful completion, trainees should be able to communicate with passengers during an emergency, demonstrate personal Life-saving appliances and embark and disembark passengers, in particular caring for those needing special assistance.

The guidance contained in this Guidelines for the Sampling and Analysis of Dredged material Intended for Disposal at Sea, addresses the points above and is an amalgamation of two documents produced for the London Convention and the 1996 Protocol thereto:

• Guidelines for the sampling of sediment intended for disposal at sea (LC 24/17, addendum 1)
• Selection and analysis of physical and chemical parameters for the assessment of Dredged material quality

(LC/SG 26/12, annex 2)

This Model Course is based on IMO Model Course 1.25, “General Operator’s Certificate for the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System”, covering training organization, teaching aids and technical facilities. It is intended to provide trainees with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills sufficient to perform the functions of second-class radio-electronics personnel.

This model course is intended to provide the knowledge required to enable personnel without designated security duties in connection with a Ship Security Plan (SSP) to enhance ship security in accordance with the requirements of chapter XI-2 of SOLAS 74 as amended, the ISPS Code, and section A-VI/6-1 of the STCW Code, as amended.

Those who successfully complete this course should achieve the required standard of competence enabling them to contribute to the enhancement of maritime security through heightened awareness and the ability to recognize security threats and to respond appropriately.

This model course is intended to provide the knowledge required for seafarers with designated security duties in connection with a Ship Security Plan (SSP) to perform their duties in accordance with the requirements of chapter XI-2 of SOLAS 74 as amended, the ISPS Code, and section A-VI/6 of the STCW Code, as amended.

Of all the international conventions dealing with maritime safety, the most important is the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, better known as SOLAS, which covers a wide range of measures designed to improve the safety of shipping.

The Convention is also one of the oldest of its kind: the first version was adopted in 1914 following the sinking of the Titanic with the loss of more than 1,500 lives. Since then, there have been four more versions of SOLAS. The present version was adopted in 1974 and entered into force in 1980. This publication commemorates the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, a prominent international instrument for maritime safety.

This edition of the publication presents a consolidated text of the Convention, its Protocol of 1988 and all amendments that have entered into force on or before 1 July 2024. Additionally, this edition includes the unified interpretations of SOLAS regulations approved by the Maritime Safety Committee.

Both the safety of shipping and the cleanliness of oceans are promoted in many ways, one of which is the continuing development of routeing measures to organize the navigation of vessels and to monitor their progress. This publication presents individual descriptions of the following routeing measures:

• traffic separation schemes and inshore
• traffic zones
• deep-water routes
• areas to be avoided
• no anchoring areas
• other routeing measures, such as recommended tracks, two-way routes and recommended directions of traffic flow associated rules and recommendations on navigation
• archipelagic sea lanes
• ship reporting systems

This edition incorporates routeing measures that have been adopted before September 2025.
