Final act of the conference with attachments, including the Protocol of 1978 relating to the international convention for the safety of life at sea, 1974 and the Protocol of 1978 relating to the international convention for the prevention of pollution from ships, 1973
Regulations for the safety of tankers at sea and the prevention of oil spills were adopted. The regulations for safety at sea included surveys and certificates, construction, machinery, electrical installations, fire protection, fire detection, and fire extinction. The regulations for pollution prevention included the restatement of previous policy plus the definitions of major conversion (paragraph 8), lightweight (paragraph 23), new oil tanker, existing oil tanker, crude oil tanker, and product carrier. Seven resolutions were adopted, which included target dates for enforcement of the above regulations, future development aimed at eliminating pollution, control procedures for existing tankers under 40,000 tons deadweight, further development of international standards for inert gas systems, procedures for effective enforcement of conventions relating to safety of life at sea and pollution from ships, and the development of guidelines for the performance of in port inspections.
