Marine Notice 2-13-9: Vessel Response Plans and salvage and marine fire-fighting capability requirements for Tank Vessels operating in US waters
A reminder for owners/operators of Marshall Islands tank vessels operating in US waters that 22 February 2011 is the revised date by which a VRP must include the relevant USCG salvage and marine fire-fighting requirements. Whilst this should not affect MI-registered yachts, it may affect MI-registered shadow boats that carry large quantities of oils.
Marine Notice 2-11-33: Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 - inspection and certification program
Additional information on the initial then ongoing implementation of the MLC 2006 by the Marshall Islands Administration. This is applicable to MI-registered yachts (private and commercial), but may also be of interest to persons involved with the operation of yachts of flags that have not yet ratified the convention (e.g. UK, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, etc.).
Marine Notice 2-11-34: Special Purpose Ships
Information on the MI’s clarifications to, and interpretations of, the IMO’s Code of Safety for Special Purpose Ships, 2008. This code does not apply to yachts.
Marine Notice 2-11-35: National safety requirements for Offshore Supply Vessels
Information on the MI Administration’s equivalent requirements for OSV’s, acknowledging that whilst SOLAS’s Passenger Ship requirements strictly apply to those vessels carrying more than 12 offshore workers, the training of the workers and typical areas of operation make the SOLAS requirements inappropriate. These equivalent requirements do not apply to yachts.
Marine Notice 2-11-36: National safety requirements for vessels carrying persons in addition to crew
Clarification from the MI Administration on their requirements for vessels carrying more than 12 persons who are not crew members. This information is applicable to those MI commercial yachts that carry more than 12 guests and supernumeraries (security personnel, medical personnel, pilots, etc.).
Marine Notice 7-41-3: Pilot transfer arrangements
Information to ensure that pilot ladders, mechanical pilot hoists and their arrangements, use and maintenance conform to standards not inferior to those set out in IMO Resolution A.889(21). This will apply to those yachts that have occasion to use the services of a pilot in entering or leaving port, or wherever pilotage is required.
Marine Notice 7-43-1: Means of ship embarkation / disembarkation
Information on the implementation of SOLAS Regulation II-1/3-9, which entered into force on 1 January 2010. It establishes construction, installation, maintenance, and inspection requirements for the means of embarkation on and disembarkation from ships. This regulation should apply to commercial yachts over 500GT, unless the Commercial Yacht Code is revised to include equivalent requirements. The regulation should also apply to commercial yachts of other flags above 500GT.
