HSC Code (2000) Operating Limitations |
Members of the IMO Naval Architecture Group have expressed concern over the lack of consistency and completeness when determining the operating limitations for the Permit to Operate under the HSC Code (2000). These concerns were brought to the attention of the DE Sub Committee in two papers, (DE 49/5/3 and DE 49/INF.5), submitted on behalf of the IMO Naval architecture Group by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, in its capacity as a Non Governmental Organisation. The Sub-Committee agreed that these concerns should be addressed, and proposed to MSC that a new work item for the development of guidelines to assist Administrations should be introduced. Development of these guidelines will commence at DE 50.
Mr Andrew Blyth FRINA, who was instrumental in drafting the papers, gave a lunchtime presentation on the issue at DE 50. The presentation is posted in the news section of the Technical Forum - High Speed Vessels. |

inter-sessional correspondence group |
IMO has formed an inter-sessional correspondence group to develop and propose guidelines on the consistent application of the HSC Code. Papers DE49/5/3 and DE49/INF, submitted by RINA, and the paper DE50/18 will form the base documents for the work of the correspondence group. RINA will be represented on the group, which will be coordinated by Australia. The group has been requested to produce a HSC report for DE51.
A Discussion Document for round 1 of the correspondence group and copies of the papers referred to in the Document may be viewed on the RINA website at www.rina.org.uk/IMO/DE |
