Description
2023 Diving Code, 2024 Edition contains the updated edition of the IMO Code of Safety for Diving Systems. The publication has been developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to ensure the highest possible level of safety in commercial diving operations conducted from ships and offshore vessels.
Commercial diving is one of the most risky activities in maritime and offshore operations. Diving operations place very high demands on equipment, procedures, personnel, emergency preparedness and technical integrity to protect divers working in demanding conditions.
The publication sets out requirements for the design, construction, testing, certification and operation of diving systems. The regulations include pressure chambers, bell systems, gas supply, control systems, emergency equipment and other technical installations used in professional diving operations.
The 2023 Diving Code is used by diving companies, offshore operators, shipping companies, classification societies, shipyards and maritime authorities dealing with commercial diving and offshore operations. The publication is particularly relevant for vessels supporting the oil and gas industry, subsea inspections, construction work and other specialized marine operations.
The regulations also describe requirements for inspections, maintenance, operational procedures and safety management to ensure safe execution of diving assignments. The publication contributes to standardized safety requirements across the international maritime industry.
The 2024 edition contains the updated 2023 Diving Code and serves as an authoritative reference for businesses seeking to ensure compliance with international requirements for diving operations and diving systems.
