New SOLAS requirements for Lifting Appliances
Lloyds Registry
These updates will take effect on 1 January 2026, ensuring enhanced safety and operational standards across the maritime industry.
The new regulation applies to a wide range of lifting appliances, including those:
- Used for cargo loading, transfer, or discharge
- Used for raising and lowering hold hatch covers or moveable bulkheads
- Used as engine-room cranes
- Used as stores cranes
- Used as hose handling cranes;
- Used for launch and recovery of tender boats and similar applications
- Used as personnel handling cranes
Generally, the requirements also apply to lifting appliances with a safe working load below 1,000 kg, unless the flag administration grants specific exemptions. However, certain lifting appliances — including those used on offshore construction ships — are outside the scope of this regulation.
