scope:
This Chapter is intended to cover the additional hull construction, machinery and safety equipment requirements to class a vessel as a passenger vessel, not contained elsewhere in the Rules.
These requirements are applicable to those features that are permanent in nature and can be verified by plan review, calculation, physical survey or any other means.
This Chapter is intended for passenger vessels to be used exclusively for the transportation and entertainment of their passengers and, accordingly, does not address requirements associated with transportation of cargo and vehicles.
This Chapter does not address the requirements from the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, for operational instructions, Life-Saving Appliances and Arrangements (Chapter III), Radiotelegraphy and Radiotelephony (Chapter IV) and Safety of Navigation (Chapter V), which may be found in the Convention.
