Description: The Maritime Safety Committee adopted, by resolution MSC.266(84), the Code of Safety for Special Purpose Ships, 2008 (2008 SPS Code), which had been developed following a revision of the code adopted in 1983. Both amended requirements of the SOLAS Convention and experience gained were taken into account during the development of the new code. Particular attention was paid to the matter of trainees on training ships which lead to a comprehensive revision of the term "special personnel".--Publisher's description.
