Details

This MIN expires 16th September 2020.

This MIN sets out the policy of the MCA with respect to UK vessels which are prevented from arranging the relevant surveys, inspections and audits required for compliance with the relevant Statutory Instruments due to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

The MIN has been reissued as amendment 1 on 25th March 2020 to incorporate developments in MCA policy and government guidance regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

It has been further revised as amendment 2 on 17th April 2020 to take into account issues raised by industry and the ongoing development of MCA policy as appropriate, to assist operators whilst maintaining an equivalent level of safety in operation. It includes extended policy guidance on the testing, servicing and calibration of equipment and clarification of the extension of the authorisations to the UK recognised organisations. Amendments since the last revision are underlined for clarity.
