Regulation 34 Equivalents

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

The Assigning Authority may, with the approval of the Secretary of State—

(a)

allow any fitting, material, appliance or apparatus to be fitted in a ship, or allow other provisions to be made in a ship, in the place of any fitting, material, appliance, apparatus or provision respectively which is required under any of the provisions of these Regulations, if satisfied by trial or otherwise that it is at least as effective as that so required; or

(b)

allow in an exceptional case departure from the requirements of any of the said provisions on condition that the freeboards to be assigned to the ship are increased to such an extent as to satisfy the Secrtary of State that the safety of the ship and protection afforded to the crew will be no less effective than would be the case if the ship fully complied with those requirements and there were no such increase of freeboards.
