PRS amended its Rules for the Classification and Construction of Small Sea-Going Ships (Part I, Classification Regulations)

The Polish Register of Shipping (PRS) has amended its Rules for the Classification and Construction of Small Sea-Going Ships (Part I, Classification Regulations).

This document was issued on 13 November 2023 and entered into force on the same date.

List of amendments effective as of 13 November 2023:

• Definition of Crab fishing vessel has been added
• Mark of Crab fishing vessel ("krb") and requirements for its assignment have been added

The assignment of the "krb" mark means that the vessel meets stability criteria other than PRS criteria for fishing vessels.

These may be criteria applied to such type of vessels by the flag State administration under which the vessel is built e.g. the British standard contained in MSN 1872 (F).
