25 Prohibition on issue of ACCL
(1) An ACCL will be issued for a vessel only if:
(a) the vessel is classed by a classification society that is a full member of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS); and
(b) the vessel at least meets the requirements of SOLAS that apply to a vessel constructed after 30 September 1994.
(2) However, for a vessel constructed or converted for the carriage of livestock before 1 October 1994, for a five year period after 1 July 2018, the vessel may meet the standards that apply to a vessel constructed after 31 August 1984 instead of complying with paragraph (1)(b), if:
(a) an ACCL has been previously issued for the vessel; and
(b) the livestock operator has not changed since the ACCL was issued; and
(c) the vessel met the criteria set out in subsection 26(3) at the time the ACCL ceased to be in force or within 3 months of that date.
