Recognising the inherent problem of water on deck on ro-ro passenger ships, the Norwegian
Maritime Directorate has already applied the major part of the stability requirements
of Annex 2 to the Agreement to Norwegian ro-ro passenger ships undertaking regular
scheduled voyages between designated ports.
Referring to the Resolution adopted by the representatives of the Government and Maritime
Administrations who concluded the Agreement in Stockholm 27-28 February 1996, recognising
the possibility of an early implementation of the requirements of the Agreement, the
Government of Norway wishes to inform that it is seeking agreements with other Contracting
Parties. The intention is to obtain the same safety standards on every ro-ro passenger
ship on regular voyages to and from Norwegian designated ports.
Taking into account the close co-operation for enhancing stability between the countries
now Parties to the Agreement, the Government of Norway anticipates that the negotiation
of agreements on an early upgrading of ro-ro passenger ships servicing Norwegian designated
ports will be successfully concluded.
