3.9 Vessels Operating in Protected Waters and/or a Restricted Service - Equivalent Safety Standards

  3.9.1 When the owner/managing agent of a vessel which operates on the coast of the UK in protected waters and/or a restricted service considers that full application of the Code would be inappropriate because other safety provisions have been made, the owner/managing agent may request the Director of Standards of the MCA, via the Certifying Authority, to consider certification of the vessel in compliance with alternative safety standards.

  3.9.2 Guidance on alternative safety standards is given in Annex 4.
