• General Provisions• Divide by two:
– Construction - subdivision and stability, machinery and electrical installations
– Fire protection , fire detection and fire extinction• Life saving appliances and arrangements• Radio Communication• Safety of Navigation• Carriage of Cargoes• Carriage of Dangerous Goods• Nuclear Ships• Management for the Safety Operation of Ships• Safety measures for high-speed craft• Divide by two:
– Special measures to enhance maritime safety– Special measures to enhance maritime security
• Additional safety measures for bulk carriers
