United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

  1. (a)

    Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:

    ‘3.

    The direction of the propulsion thrust imparted to the vessel and the rotational speed of the propeller or main engines shall be displayed.’

  2. (b)

    The second phrase of paragraph 9 is replaced by the following:

    ‘The requirements set out in paragraphs 1 to 8 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, in view of the specific characteristics and arrangements selected for the abovementioned active steering and propulsion units. In analogy to paragraph 2, each unit shall be controlled by a lever which moves in the form of an arc within a vertical plane that is approximately parallel to the direction of the thrust of the unit. From the position of the lever the direction of the thrust acting on the vessel shall be clear.

    If rudder propeller or cycloidal-propeller systems are not controlled by means of levers, the inspection body may allow derogations from paragraph 2. These derogations shall be mentioned in the Community certificate in box 52.’
