3 Application and Interpretation

  3.1.1 This revision of the Code comes into effect on 24th September 2004 and replaces "The Code of Practice for the Safety of Large Commercial Sailing and Motor Vessels" published in 1997. Vessels certificated to the requirements of the original Code may continue to operate under the same provisions applicable at the time of certification. Vessels undergoing refit or modification are encouraged to comply with the provisions of this revision as far as is reasonable and practicable.

The application of the 3000GT limit is not applicable to vessels for which the building contract is signed, or survey has started, prior to 24th September 2004.

  3.2.2 Exemptions

For Coded vessels while operating as pleasure vessels, the MCA may issue an exemption to regulations applicable to UK passenger ships subject to a maximum of 36 guests being carried, sufficient life-saving appliances, and a Safe Manning Document (including vessels under 500GT) being in force. Applications will be considered on a case by case, and voyage by voyage basis.
