The Workboat Code. Edition 3. The safety of small Workboats and Pilot Boats - a Code of Practice/Кодекс поведения на рабочих судах. Издание 3. Безопасность малых рабочих судов и лоцманских катеров - свод практических правил

Издание на английском языке
The Code applies to working vessels, including specialized pilot boats that operate at sea or in certain waters. It covers commercial vessels, but does not apply to vessels used for recreational purposes. The Code may also apply to barges and pontoons under tow, but does not apply to tankers and cargo ships carrying bulk cargoes. The Code includes requirements for crewed vessels and for unmanned vessels operated remotely, and emphasizes that such vessels must meet the safety standards expected of them both by the public and in accordance with UK laws and international standards. It is based on the 2023 Regulations, which establish the legal framework for certification and compliance with the requirements for vessels. The Code replaces previous versions and includes requirements for the design, construction and equipment of ships, as well as for the qualifications of the crew. An important aspect is the need to comply with local regulations and requirements, which may vary depending on the region. The Code can also be applied voluntarily to non-British vessels operating abroad, and provides information on the necessary requirements and procedures to comply with them. In general, the document serves as a complete guide for ship owners and operators, ensuring safety and compliance with modern standards.
