CLASSIFYING CRUISE SHIPS

The design of cruise ships has changed considerably since the 1970s, as owners compete to attract new passengers.

Some of these responsibilities are summarized, including those relating to watertight integrity, fire prevention, piping systems, lifesaving appliances and structural arrangements.
