The draft order provides updated technical requirements for radio systems, dredging equipment and fire protection systems on vessels.

Order amending the Order on the safety of seagoing vessels

Article I, Parts G, I, J, K, M and N of the draft order, in conjunction with Annexes I and II thereto, contains possible technical requirements to be met by radio systems, dredging equipment and fire protection systems aboard vessels. Parts G, I and N and Annex I provide updated requirements for radio systems aboard seagoing yachts falling under what is known as the ‘LY3 Code’. Part J removes the requirement to have measuring instruments aboard vessels. Part K provides updated guideline requirements for certain dredgers (previous Notification No 2000/24/NL). Part M covers revised guidelines related to requirements for securing cargo to vessels (previous Notification No 1998/435/NL). Annex II to the order gives technical requirements for vessels, such as for fire protection systems aboard vessels. The other requirements were already notified with a previous amendment to the order, under No 2008/235/NL. The other regulations of the draft order do not contain any technical regulations that require notification.

Mutual recognition is already covered in Articles 28 and 36 of the Order on the safety of seagoing vessels.
