Starting July 1, 2024, new mandatory amendments to the SOLAS Convention will come into effect, significantly impacting offshore vessels. These changes specifically affect Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) and other offshore ships carrying more than 12 special personnel onboard.

To ensure compliance and maintain operational approvals, vessels must now obtain the IP Compliance Certificate, proving adherence to the latest IP Code requirements.

What are the key IP Code Requirements?

The International Code of Safety for Ships Carrying Industrial Personnel (IP Code) sets out safety and operational guidelines for vessels engaged in offshore energy, wind farm, and other specialized operations. The key IP Code requirements include:

• Structural and Stability Enhancements – Modifications to vessel design to ensure compliance with new safety standards.
• Fire Protection & Safety Measures – Upgrades to fire safety, escape routes, and lifesaving appliances.
• Crew and Industrial Personnel Training – Compliance with new competency requirements for onboard personnel.

Does your vessel need an IP Compliance Certificate?

The transition to IP Code compliance depends on your vessel’s current classification:

✅ Vessels previously classed under voluntary SPS (Special Purpose Ship): If your vessel was already following voluntary SPS Code regulations, the transition to the IP Code requirements will be relatively straightforward.

❌ Vessels that missed the grandfathering deadline: If your vessel was not previously classified under SPS and missed the transition period, a full compliance assessment will be required. This process includes a thorough gap analysis and possible engineering modifications to meet the IP Code requirements.

How can GLO Marine assist you with end-to-end support?

At GLO Marine, we specialize in guiding shipowners and operators through the IP Code compliance process. Our end-to-end solutions ensure vessels meet the latest safety standards efficiently and cost-effectively.

1. IP Code Gap Analysis

A detailed compliance assessment to identify any technical, structural, or operational gaps. This ensures shipowners understand exactly what modifications are needed.

2. Retrofit Engineering for Compliance

Our team provides customized engineering solutions to upgrade vessels to meet the IP Code requirements. This includes modifications to stability, fire protection, and escape routes.

3. End-to-End Certification Support

From initial assessment to final certification, GLO Marine assists with documentation, liaising with classification societies, and ensuring a smooth compliance process.

Get your vessel ready for the IP Code

If your vessel operates in offshore environments where IP Code compliance is mandatory, now is the time to ensure seamless certification. Non-compliance can result in operational delays, financial penalties, and even vessel restrictions.

Let’s simplify the compliance process for you!
