Vessel Modification – Structure and Equipment Changes
VESSEL AND EQUIPMENT CHANGES ^
You have the responsibility to ensure that equipment and structural modifications
do not compromise the freeboard and stability of your vessel or reduce
the suitability of your vessel for the working and environmental conditions
it may encounter. Any modifications must be in compliance with safety
standards and the Construction
Standards for Small Vessel –
TP1332.
Before making alterations to your vessel that may have an impact on vessel
safety, you should contact your local Transport Canada Centre. A safety
inspector will help you determine whether the proposed modifications are
consistent with the construction, equipment, and safety regulations for
your vessel’s intended area of service.
CHANGING THE AREA AND TYPE OF OPERATION
^
A Transport Canada inspector will review the suitability of your vessel
for the proposed changes. Any proposed change in the area or type of operation
that results in a change in voyage classification will necessitate a re-inspection
to ascertain whether the vessel and crew are in compliance with applicable
regulations under the new voyage class.
MORE INFORMATION ^
Contact your local Transport Canada Centre to find out the laws and regulations
that apply to your particular vessel and situation.
