This MIN sets out the policy of the MCA with respect to UK Vessels which are prevented from arranging the Surveys, Inspections and Audits required for compliance with the relevant Statutory Instruments due to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
The MIN was revised as amendment 3 in June 2020 to address minor changes to the administrative processes and to clarify the requirements as the industry starts to recommence operations. Noting the extended timeframe of the ongoing pandemic, it also provides for limited extension to the permitted three month period for short term certificates issued under the provisions of this MIN.
