Class News 07/2026: SOLAS amendments - Fire Safety Requirements for ro-ro Passenger Ships

IMO Resolutions MSC.550(108) and MSC.555(108) amend SOLAS II-2/20 and the FSS Code to strengthen fire detection and suppression on ro-ro and cargo ships, affecting newbuilds and retrofits.

These changes strengthen fire detection, monitoring and suppression measures on ro-ro and cargo ships, with significant implications for both newbuilds and existing vessels requiring retrofit compliance.
