About
This session will provide an update on the revised Merchant Shipping (Small Workboats and Pilot Boats) Regulations 2023 and accompanying Workboat Code following the consultation across the industry. The response to the consultation was excellent and the feedback received has been used to steer the direction of the new Code. This session will detail some of the subsequent amendments and provide further clarity around the new Workboat Code.
It is felt the new version of the Code will provide greater detail around the survey and inspection requirements and also addresses the growing drive for decarbonisation within the industry through provisions for autonomous vessels and alternative fuels and propulsion systems. Existing rules did not reflect those and other developments which is why the regulations and Code have been revised.
