They indicate to the Designers, Shipbuilders, Shipowners and others the procedure which the United Kingdom adopts for the survey and acceptance of High Speed Craft’s structure, system, fittings, arrangements and materials as well as the condition under which the High Speed Craft Safety Certificates, UK High Speed Craft Safety Certificates and the Permits to Operate High Speed Craft are issued. These Instructions contain interpretations of the HSC Code and guidelines for HSC and the following format for this publication is adopted: “The exact wording of the HSC Code is in normal font.” “The relevant MCA Policy, interpretations, comments and guidelines are in italic and shaded” Please note that HSC Code is IMO Resolution MSC.36(63) adopted on 20 May 1994 and its comments are requirements, and accordingly “should” is to be construed as “shall”.
