SOLAS amendments

SOLAS, or the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, is a set of maritime safety regulations. Amendments to SOLAS are updates made to improve safety standards on ships, addressing issues like fire safety, life-saving equipment, and navigation. These changes can arise from new technologies, lessons learned from maritime accidents, or evolving international safety standards. The goal of these amendments is to enhance the protection of lives at sea, ensuring that ships are better equipped to handle emergencies and protect their crews and passengers from potential hazards.
