4、s have occurred on OSVs duringcargo and personnel carriage operations, IMOs Sub-Committee onDangerous Goods, Solid Cargoes and Containers at its first session(February 1996) developed the Code of Safe Practice for the Carriage ofCargoes and Persons by Offshore Supply Vessels (OSV Code).The Code was
5、approved by the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) at itssixty-sixthsession(June1996)andadoptedbytheAssemblyatitstwentiethsession (November 1997) by resolution A.863(20), which recommendedthatGovernmentsapplytheCodeandrequestedthe MSCtokeepitunderreview and amend it, as necessary.The Code provides for
6、safe practice in the operation and management ofOSVs when interfacingwith offshore installations, and also gives practicalguidance on items to be covered by a safety management system asrequired by the International Management Code for the Safe Operation ofShips and for Pollution Prevention (Interna
