Details

The draft regulations will simplify the existing safety inspection regime for ro-ro passenger ships and high-speed craft to ensure that the UK’s inspection regime for these ships remains in step with our international obligations for the future benefit of this sector of the industry. The main objective is to eliminate any overlaps between Port State Control inspections and the current inspection regime applicable to ro-ro passenger ships and high-speed passenger craft in regular service.

The draft regulations revoke and replace the Merchant Shipping (Mandatory Surveys for Ro-Ro Ferry and High Speed Passenger Craft) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/152).
