Previously, the rule was likely absolute; now it operates as a default standard that can be varied with ministerial permission.\n\n**Who it affects**: Ship owners, operators, and surveyors who need flexibility regarding equipment or survey requirements.\n\n**Why it matters**: It allows for practical exceptions where strict compliance with the regulations might be unnecessary or impossible for particular vessels, without requiring a full regulatory amendment for each case."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c1925l00136","history":"/api/acts/c1925l00136/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c1925l00136/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c1925l00136/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c1925l00136/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c1925l00136/documents"}}
