The Merchant Shipping (Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure) (Amendment) Regulations 2000
These Regulations amend the Merchant Shipping (Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure) Regulations 1998. They add the Code of Practice for the Safety of Small Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure Operating from a Nominated Departure Point as a Code with which such ships may comply, as an alternative to other Regulations listed in Schedule 2 to the 1998 Regulations. The Code applies to vessels which operate to sea up to 20 miles from a Nominated Departure Point. It is, therefore, complementary to the Codes of Practice for the Safety of Small Commercial Sailing and Motor Vessels.
