Part C, Section 2 Submersibles 2.1 Applicability 2.1.1
This section outlines the minimum standards for operating submersibles from a yacht, and for the facilities on board yachts within the scope of this Code where operations of submersibles to/from the yacht are required. 2.1.2
This section does not address the construction of the submersible or its operation in any detail. The operator of the submersible is responsible for ensuring that the requirements of the Administration with which the submersible is registered are met and that the laws of the State in whose waters the submersible is operated are complied with in full. 2.1.3
The operator should verify that the Administration with which the submersible is registered is acceptable to the Administration of the yacht. 2.2 General Considerations 2.2.1
The construction and operational standards of a submersible should meet the requirements of the Administration with which the submersible is registered, including the standards set by the applicable Classification Society, and should address the guidelines provided by the IMO, and industry organizations such as the International Marine Contractors Association. 2.2.2
The primary consideration is to ensure the safe launch, operation recovery and stowage of a submersible and the maintenance of the submersible and the associated support facilities while it is on board.
