Instructions for the Guidance of Surveyors - Passenger Ship Construction - Classes I, II and II(A) - (MSIS 3)

These Instructions give guidance on and where necessary clarification of the current Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) standards and policies that should be applied by marine surveyors when considering constructional arrangements and conducting surveys related to construction of passenger ships. They are not intended to replace professionalism or experience. It is the surveyor’s expertise in conjunction with that of the owner/operator that should ultimately ensure that passenger ships are built and maintained in accordance with the Regulations and operated in a safe manner.
