Consultation on marine guidance notes for emergency information and instructions to passengers
This consultation requests views on draft MGNs to replace M.1386 and M.1409 containing guidance on the provision of emergency information and instructions to passengers.
M Notices M.1386 and M.1409 currently provide guidance on the provision of emergency information to passengers to owners/ operators of (a) Class III to VI(A) and (b) Class I, II and II(A) vessels respectively. Over time, M.1386 and M.1409 have become out of date as some of the legislation to which they refer has changed. The draft MGNs therefore seek to update M.1386 and M.1409 and reflect obligations as expressed in current legislation. It should be noted, therefore, that these MGNs do not themselves bring about any changes or impose any obligations – they simply reflect obligations which are already in the cross-reference legislation.
Please see the consultation letter for more detail.
