Main changes

• Sec.4 Machinery and Systems

The previous rules for these types of craft refer to old rules, which are no longer valid. This amendment is intended to update the rules and make the requirements of Sec.4 D more clear.

It should be noted that Pt.4 Ch.6 of the Rules for Classification of HSLC is intended to include all requirements in Part A of Chapter 7 in the HSC Code. The rules for fire safety of crew boats do not cover the requirements of the HSC Code.
