New regulations for gas carrying vessels to take effect
The Government today (Friday) published the Merchant Shipping (Safety) (Gas Carriers) (Amendment) Regulation 1996 to give effect to the amendments in the international code for the construction and equipment of ships carrying liquefied gas in bulk (IGC Code) to apply in Hong Kong.
The IGC Code provides an international standard for the safe carriage of liquefied gases in bulk by sea.
It prescribes the design and construction standards of ships involved in such carriage and the equipment they should carry to minimise the risk to the ships, to the crew and to the environment, a Marine Department spokesman said.
The IGC Code has been amended to provide that gas carriers built on or after October 1, 1994, shall comply with the requirements of the 1993 edition of the IGC Code.
The new requirements include:
Special requirements for the carriage of anhydrous ammonia:
Additional requirements on the supply of water to the deck water spray system;
