Update: Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)

We recently posted an article on new requirements coming into effect on July 1, 2016 for the container shipping industry, due to amendments of the international treaty called Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). To assist our clients in further understanding their new and upcoming obligations under SOLAS, please refer to this informational letter, complete with a Q&A section.

We will continue to monitor the subject, and will provide any updates as they occur.
