applies to vessels carrying cargo and/or not more than 12 passengers. It

United Kingdom vessels in UK waters or operating from UK ports whilst in UK
waters. However, Maritime Administrations are under no obligation to accept
Code vessel certification in their waters.

Maritime Administrations or Port State Authorities are under no obligation to
accept these UK certificates for vessels in their waters, although other Maritime
Administrations or Port State Authorities may accept UK certificates as an
equivalent standard to their own.
2.5 Small commercial vessels are normally surveyed and issued with
certificates by an MCA appointed Certifying Authority. The Certificates are
acceptable to the MCA wherever the vessel operates in UK waters provided the
vessel continues to meet the conditions of the Certificate.
2.6 When operating in non-UK waters, it is the responsibility of the vessel
Owner/Operator/Master to ensure they comply with the appropriate Port State’s
regulatory requirements and that they seek approval from that Maritime
Administration before operating in their waters and adhering to any additional or
alternative criteria.
2.7 Vessel Owner/Operator/Master should be aware of the acceptability of
seafarers’ certificates abroad. Certificates acceptable to the MCA in accordance
with the Small Commercial Vessel Codes of Practice may not be acceptable to
other Maritime Administrations
