Section 1 Scope

Parent topic: Chapter 3 Statutory

1.1 Statute and this Guidance note

1.1.1 This chapter has been included in this guidance note in order to provide guidance on the statutory aspects related to the design, outfit and operation of tugs.

1.1.2 Despite the content of this chapter, in all cases the Flag Administration statutory requirements are to be met. In cases where there is an incompatibility between the content of this chapter and the Flag Administration requirements or where Lloyds’ Register is not authorised by a particular Flag Administration, the requirements and guidance of the Flag Administration take precedent over any statutory guidance presented in this document.

1.1.3 In the absence of Flag Administration requirements the Administration may choose to use the content of this chapter, in part or in full, as the basis for a set of requirements which are to be met before the vessel is registered with the Administration. In such a case early discussion with the flag is highly recommended.
