Ship stability on the IMO agenda
The United Nations’ International Maritime Organization has just held a meeting in the Sub-Committee on Stability, Load Lines and Fishing Vessel Safety.
The summary is available in its entirety here.

-
The next generation of the Code on Intact Stability.

New regulations for enhancing fishing vessel safety (however, these regulations have already been transposed into national Danish regulations).
-
Watertight doors.
-
A revision of leak stability, SOLAS 2009.
Finally, a revision of the TM69 Convention on the tonnage measurement of ships was discussed at this session.
