France, December 4, 1991. Declaration. Pursuant to Rule 5. Chapter I of the Convention as regards the stability of passenger ships: 1. By virtue of the provisions of Rule 5. Chapter I of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974/1978, the Government of France puts to the attention of the organization that in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of Rule 8.chapter II of the Convention, in its As amended by resolution MSC.12 (56) adopted on 28 October 1988, it has accepted the use of the GM-METER measuring device manufactured in France by the SEPAC society as a means of determining the stability of passenger ships before of set sail. 2. The GM-METER SEPAC is an instrument that determines in a global manner the GM value of the ship by measuring the exact balance period of the vessel, with the help of a clinometer incorporated in the instrument. The exact balance sheet period is obtained by the automatic analysis of a sequence of three minutes of balance. 3. The measurement is carried out immediately after leaving the dock or, if the residual movements are sufficient, while the ship is still on the dock but after the loading ramp has been lifted. The measurement sequence lasts three minutes, after which the first result is indicated; this result is corrected after every five seconds for one minute, after which the final result is obtained. 4. The instrument has in its memory the hydrostatic and geometric data of the vessel that allow it to calculate the GM from the exact measurement of the balance. The values taken into account for the calculations are determined by the average draught to be introduced into the instrument when it is put into operation. If the measurement is carried out while the ship is still moored to the dock, account must be taken of the effect of the mugs, which is determined by the height of the novays above the water level and this data must also be introduced into the instrument by the operator.
