Article II(3)
ART2_III
Following tripartite consultations, it was decided that the default position was that Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel (PCASP) should not count as seafarers, provided it could be evidenced that there was equivalent protection in place for them provided by the employer. Taking into account the fact that their short-term presence onboard a ship was the norm, it was noted that, in cases of extended durations, the result may be different.
Article II(5)
ART2_V
The MLC Survey & Certification Regulations do not apply to pleasure vessels, fishing vessels, ships of traditional build, warships or naval auxiliaries and ships not ordinarily engaged in commercial activities. Otherwise, the arrangements in this notice apply to all UK ships unless they operate exclusively from a UK port on domestic voyages within 60 nautical miles of a UK safe haven.
After tripartite consultation, while not specifically excluded from the legislation, it was agreed that it would not be enforced on Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) when on station, and Accommodation ships when secured to the sea bed, for significant periods.
