Passengership safety features in the workload of the IMO's Ship Design and Construction (SDC) meeting, which is scheduled to start in London next week.
One key measure that the IMO has yet to decide on is the protection of electrical cables in the event of flooding, resulting from side-raking damage to the hull.
