Basic Principles of the IMO GBS To define a set of “goals” to be met for the safety of life at sea and protection of the marine environment defining the safety and environmental protection parameters that need to be monitored applying to the highest standards that new ships will have to comply with not prescribing specific solutions open to innovation

Holistic Approach: 

Holistic Approach Opinion expressed by IMO Members The regulatory framework should cover the whole ship safety but focusing for the time being on ship structure Ship safety Environmental Protection Security Conditions of working Fire protection LSA Safety of navigation Freeboard Operational matters Ship structure Ship safety

Goal-Based Rules: 

Goal-Based Rules Goal-Based Rules will provide detailed prescriptive criteria meeting: Statutory Requirements Class Rules Industry Standards Allowing to verify individual ship’s compliance by: Design plan approval Surveys of new buildings Surveys of ships-in-service Allowing alternative solutions, at least equivalent to the prescribed level of safety

Expectations for New Ships: 

Expectations for New Ships Shipping Industry Fit for purpose Reliable Easy to Maintain Public / Regulators Safe Environmentally Friendly Robust
