During a vessel conversion it is necessary to check regulations pertaining to the fire protection equipment. Which of the following international documents would contain the information?
• Purpose and main focus of SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) • What MARPOL regulates (hint: think pollution, not equipment design) • Differences between international conventions and national regulations like the CFR
• Ask yourself: which document is primarily about onboard safety systems, construction standards, and fire protection for ships? • Which option mainly concerns preventing pollution of the sea, rather than life‑saving and fire‑safety equipment? • Which option applies specifically to U.S. domestic law versus global, flag‑state‑neutral standards?
• Identify which choice is an international convention focused on safety of life and ship construction/equipment. • Confirm which convention is primarily about marine pollution control rather than fire protection. • Separate international requirements from U.S.-only regulatory documents before picking your answer.
