Year: 2023 Language: English Author: Maritime and Coastguard Agency Genre: Code book Edition: 3 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 291 Description: This Code applies to workboats that operate to sea, and to all dedicated pilot boats operating either at sea or in categorised waters. This Code applies to such vessels in commercial use, other than when in use for recreational, sport or pleasure, for which there are more appropriate codes. This Code can also be used for barges, pontoons, and similar small vessels when under tow, as specified in section 26. Vessels where bulk cargo1 is loaded into and carried in the vessel’s hold or tanks are considered to be small tankers or bulk carriers and shall not be certified under the provisions of this Code. Independent rescue boats, when engaged in commercial use, may use the Rescue Boat Code instead of this Code, in accordance with MGN 466(M)2, as amended. Police boats operating to sea shall meet the requirements of this Code in addition to the requirements set out in the Police Boat Annex. This Code applies to vessels operated by crew, and to vessels with no persons on board operated from a Remote Operation Centre. Such vessels are treated, by both UK and international law, as a type of cargo vessel and the level of safety and protection for those on board, and/or operating the vessel remotely, is considered commensurate with the current expectations of the general public for such vessels. A vessel intending to operate as a Remotely Operated Unmanned Vessel shall meet the requirements set out in Annex 2 in addition to the relevant sections of the Code. A vessel which does not carry out any of its operation on the water’s surface (i.e., operates underwater) is outside of the scope of this Code. This Code is given legal effect by The Merchant Shipping (Small Workboats and Pilot Boats) Regulations 2023 (“the 2023 Regulations”). The 2023 Regulations set out the legal regulatory framework for the certification and continued compliance of vessels and this Code underpins those provisions by providing details of the technical requirements for equipment and practices and procedures to be followed in relation to such vessels. The 2023 Regulations and this Code therefore provide a complete compliance regime for the types of vessels they are intended to cover. The owners and masters of these vessels retain the right to show they have complied with all their obligations in full by meeting the equivalent standards in other relevant provisions such as for example, the Merchant Shipping (Load Line) Regulations 1998 (SI 1998/2241), Additional info: Safer Lives, Safer Ships, Cleaner Seas
