The Maritime Safety Committee,

  1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its seventy-sixth session (2 to 13 December 2002), noted that the 1994 International Code of Safety for High-Speed Craft (1994 HSC Code) (resolution MSC.36(63) as amended by resolution MSC.119(74)) and the Code of Safety for Dynamically Supported Craft (DSC Code) (resolution A.373(X) as amended by resolution MSC.37(36)) do not yet include some of the requirements of the 2000 HSC Code (resolution MSC.97(73)), corresponding to provisions of SOLAS 1974 which are intended to apply to existing ships.

  2 In noting these differences, the Committee expressed its intention to address them through amendments to the 1994 HSC Code and the DSC Code at the time of the next scheduled review of the 2000 HSC Code.

  3 Noting the substantial improvement to safety afforded by the relevant measures listed in the annex, Member Governments are invited to bring these measures to the attention of shipowners and operators, shipping companies, classification societies and all others involved in the operation of craft covered by the DSC Code and the 1994 HSC Code and, in particular, invites Administrations to consider giving effect, as far as practical, to the proposed amendments in respect of craft covered by these Codes, as appropriate.
