Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This amendment gives the Minister power to grant written exemptions from specific requirements in the ship survey and equipment rules.

What it does: It inserts a clause at the start of paragraph 16 in Schedule II of the existing regulations, allowing the Minister to approve alternative arrangements in writing. Previously, the rule was likely absolute; now it operates as a default standard that can be varied with ministerial permission.

Who it affects: Ship owners, operators, and surveyors who need flexibility regarding equipment or survey requirements.

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.
