2.3 Paragraph 3.1

Parent topic: 2 Technical Provisions for Means of Access for Inspections (Resolution MSC.158(78))

Interpretation

 The permanent means of access to a space can be credited for the permanent means of access for inspection.

Technical background

 The Technical provisions specify means of access to a space and to hull structure for carrying out overall and close-up surveys and inspections. Requirements of MA to hull structure may not always be suitable for access to a space. However, if the MA for access to a space can also be used for the intended surveys and inspections such MA can be credited for the MA for use for surveys and inspections.
