Plain English Summary

5/10 complexity

These regulations fold specified parts of the Uniform Shipping Laws Code into Western Australian law, classify vessels according to the Code, and make Sections 5, 6, 8 and 9 of the Code apply to every vessel and voyage covered by the Marine Act. Vessel owners and operators must therefore meet the Code’s construction, stability and engineering requirements; the regulations fix the applicable Code version as at 1 October 2009 (Reg 3), so compliance and enforcement depend on that external instrument.
