Main changes coming into force 1 January 2012

• Sec.10 Fire Safety

— References have been changed to directly refer to SOLAS Ch. II-2 in lieu no longer relevant parts of the DNV rules and without reproducing the relevant SOLAS text. Document requirements have been standardized in table format and reflect the actual rule requirements. Additional rule requirements have been added to better cover the typical naval vessel design and operational needs. Rule text already covered by the SOLAS references has been removed, to avoid unnecessary duplication of the same requirement.

Corrections and Clarifications

In addition to the above stated rule requirements, a number of corrections and clarifications have been made in the existing rule text.
