1.2.1 This Code applies to such dynamically supported
craft which are engaged on voyages between a terminal in one country
and a terminal in another country, part or all of which voyages are
across areas of water (but not necessarily on routes navigable to
ships) through which a ship operating on an international voyage,
as defined by the Safety Convention, would proceed.
1.2.2 In applying this Code, the Administration
should determine whether a craft is a dynamically supported craft,
as defined in 1.4.1, or whether its characteristics
are such that the Safety and Load Line Conventions, with appropriate
additions, can be applied. For new types of dynamically supported
craft, other than defined in 1.4.2 and 1.4.3,
the Administration should determine the extent to which the provisions
of the Code are applicable to those new types and inform the Organization
thereof.
1.2.3 The Code should be applied by Administrations
through more detailed national regulations based on a comprehensive
coverage of this Code.
