New 2026 IMO SOLAS requirements for onboard ship-to-shore cranes?
The IMO has not published new SOLAS requirements specifically for ship-to-shore cranes taking effect in 2026.
Current SOLAS regulations primarily address structural safety, navigation equipment, and life-saving appliances rather than cargo handling equipment like ship-to-shore cranes. The International Maritime Organization continues to focus SOLAS amendments on vessel safety systems, emergency procedures, and maritime security protocols.
Remember: "2026 SOLAS STS = ZERO" (No new Ship-To-Shore crane requirements published for 2026)
