Guidelines for the Preparation of the Cargo
Securing Manual
(1997 edition)
The 1974 SOLAS Convention, Regulations VI/5 and VII/6, require cargo units and cargo
transport units to be loaded, stowed and secured throughout the voyage in accordance with
a Cargo Securing Manual. IMO's Maritime Safety Committee (MSC), at its sixty-sixth
session, considered draft guidelines for the preparation of the Cargo Securing Manual
prepared by the Sub-Committee on Dangerous Goods, Solid Cargoes and Containers at its
first session (February 1996) and approved the Guidelines presented in this publication,
which were originally issued as MSC/Circ.745 (dated 13 June 1996). The Guidelines
supersede those presented in MSC/Circ.385.
The aim is to have Cargo Securing Manuals carried on board ships prepared appropriately
and in a consistent manner, and to implement them as soon as possible and, in any case,
not later than 31 December 1997.
