AMSA informs that from 1 January 2023, Marine Order 52 (Yachts and training vessels) 2022 will come into effect. Marine Order 52 (MO52) establishes survey, maintenance and certification requirements for regulated Australian vessels (RAVs) that are yachts or training vessels.
The new MO52 incorporates the Red Ensign Group (REG) Yacht Code Part A and the accompanying Australian National Annex. The REG Yacht Code Part A updates the REG Large Yacht Code (known as the LY3 Code) and:
The LY3 Code and the accompanying LY3 Code Australian National Annex will continue to apply to vessels designed and constructed under the LY3 Code prior to 1 January 2019.
Yachts, including large yachts, and training vessels will still have to comply with all international conventions not altered by the marine order, related to that vessel’s size and operations.
Marine Order 52 does not apply to domestic commercial vessels (DCVs) or recreational vessels.
