ESTRIN 2023

ES-TRIN 2023 will enter into force on 01.01.2024, as a technical annex for both European Directive ED/2016/1629 and Rhine Rules.

ES-TRIN 2023 is presently available in four languages (French, English, German and Dutch) on https://www.cesni.eu/en/standards-and-explanatory-notices/ .

This new edition of the Standard will replace the 2021 edition.

Until 01.01.2024 the ES-TRIN 2021 must be applied; but for new construction it may be useful to look to the new and/or modified prescriptions.

• Life jackets,
• After-treatment systems of internal combustion engines,

• Passenger vessels (several amendements),

• Electric propulsion engines aft of the aft-peak bulkhead,
• Repair of engines in service (new article 9.10),

• Radar navigation installations and rate-of-turn indicators,
• Updating of references to the ES-RIS 2023/1,
