12.3 Tests of Ships
International conventions for shipping are made by maritime umbrella organiza-
tions like the IMO, as well as the International Labor Organization (ILO). Both are
executive organs of the United Nations (UN) [
30
].
IMO is responsible for SOLAS that is concerned with all aspects of seagoing
vessels' safety [
31
]. This includes the construction of ships regarding their stability
after damage, the fire protection of the structure and the operation, the safety
devices, the control of the ship's machinery in emergencies, the equipment for
personnel and the installed safety devices for distress communication, as well as the
transportation of hazardous materials. Furthermore SOLAS 95 requires shipping
companies to comply with the International Safety Management (ISM) code [
32
].
Within the IMO, the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) is responsible for the
examination of proposals and working out appropriate supplements to SOLAS on
the basis of the proposals [
33
].
12.3.1 Classification and Judgment
Classification and judgment, the organization of ships into classes, the regular
supervision of their maintenance, the standards for design, construction or con-
struction specifications, and marine technology research are done by the Interna-
tional Association of Classification Societies (IACS) [
34
]. The oldest classification
society, Lloyd's Register Group for shipping, was founded in London in 1760 with
