The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has published this Marine Guidance Notice to provide clarification and guidance on the safety of navigation regulations 2020 which implement chapter V of SOLAS in its most recently amended form into UK law.
This notice applies to all shipowners, masters, seafarers, skippers, ship managers and shipbuilders.
This note replaces MGN 610 (M+F) SOLAS Chapter V: Guidance on the merchant shipping (safety of navigation) regulations 2020, which is now revoked. This guidance notice should also be read in conjunction with the Merchant Shipping (Safety of Navigation) Regulations 2020, including the 2025 amendments.
