Benefits
IMO's new SOLAS regulation covering the carriage of immersion suits on all cargo vessels goes into effect July 1, 2006. SOLAS Chapter III 32.3 requires one properly sized immersion suit for each crew member plus additional suits at remotely located watch or work stations. This new regulation is resulting in a large increase in the demand for immersion suits.
