26.2.7 Indicative Manning Levels

 The owner/operators or managing agent of all seagoing yachts of more than 24 metres Load Line length must ensure that personnel required for the safe operation of the vessel have recent and relevant experience of the type and size of vessel, and the type of operation in which it is engaged.

This section includes indicative manning levels for vessels of 24 metres or more in Load Line length. The owner/operators of vessels below 500GT or those above 500GT solely engaged for pleasure may find it advantageous to hold a Safe Manning Document.

In addition to the tables specific submissions may be considered from owners and operators of vessels, including those less than 500GT, seeking a varied safe manning document based on a range and risk approach to safe manning with the flexibility to reduce the manning level taking into account, for example a limiting operating area(s) or parameters, and levels of automation.
