TRAVEL TALK

“We want to take a c,raise in the spring,” Alfie told Lem during their morning discussion at the travel agency recently. “And while our friends were talking about it with us the question came up about the safety regulations. Who sets the rales for passengership safety and just .what are the standards, and how does a prospective passenger know that a ship has been constructed and maintained in a manner that meets basic safety criteria?” “There are very definitely international rules for passenger ship safety. These were set by the Inter Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization (1MCO), a special agency of the United Nations at a conference in 1974. these rales are in force today,” Lem replied. “I woiild like you to read a recent report from this meeting and here are just a few important facts to remember: “The primary responsibility for passenger ship safety rests with the administrative body in each country that handles ship registration and general maritime policy. In the United States, that body is the Coast Guard; in England, its the Board of Trade, and so on. All cooperating countries, that is those that have ratified the Safety of Life at Sea agreement, are required to meet and implement all IMCO standards. Many of the participating countries have exceeded the basic standards and incorporated additional safeguards.” “In the case of U.S. flagships, the Coast Guard certifies that they are in compliance both with the international convention and with all of the national requirements added as supplements. As for foreign ships calling at U.S. ports, the Coast Guard inspects each of these vessels approximately every four months and once a year issues a certificate attesting to the fact the ship has met the international safety standards.” “Therefore, a ship will have two types y certificates: one verifying that the International IMCO agreement has been adhered to, and a national certificate issued by a particular country.” Continuing to quote, Lem added, “each country at which a

ship calls has the authority to inspect that ship for compliance with IMQO safdtylaws. If a ship is found not in compliance, the country at which the ship has called has the power to require the line to make whatever changes or adjustments are necessary.” “Only one method for preventing or limiting the spread of fire aboard a ship has been acceptable since 1974, and that is the limitation of combustible materials in its construction and decor.” “As far as we can determine, the Coast Guard’s port-of-call inspections are stringent. They are carried out by the Office of Merchant Marine Safety, and the items most often checked include lifesaving equipment, access and exit routes, proper opening and closing of fire doors, easy accessibility of life boats and life jackets, and the prominent posting of safety and evacuation plans.” “Accidents do happen as we know in the case of the Prinsendam, but fortunately, the safety features required in ship construction should, as in the case of the Prinsendam, afford adequate time for passengers to be safely evacuated. Safety standards Tor cruise ships remain quite high, and there is little for passengers to fear,” Lem concluded. “This information as you will see is taken from syndicated information. It should answer many of the questions that you and your friends may have.” “If I may have a copy to take with me, it will be interesting and satisfying to read. I notice that the cruise brochures tell a little about the ship and its registry,” Alfie commented, “and also, if you have some general information on cruising, I would like to take that information, too. We have about decided on the cruise we want and will be in soon Jo see you about that.”

STUDENTS RECREATE NATIVITY — Students at Fairfield High School in Benton worked for three weeks completing this lifesize, paper mache nativity scene. Located on the fronllawn of the high school, the nativity scene also includes shepherds, three wise men, an angel, camels, sheep and a donkey. It is lighted up at night for the enjoyment of passers-by. Fairfield’s student council came up with the idea for the project and school clubs, organizations and classes worked to complete the figures. When Christmas is over, the figures will be stored away for next year. (Photo by Terri Chilcote)
