Charter/Coding in Norway

RibRoy · 18 January 2005, 17:31

There is no official standard regarding RIB Charter in Norway. Next summer we will operate 4 Tornado 750 and one 850, with 10 passagers pr boat, in the Oslofjord. Aiming at the incentive/event market we want to set a standard in safety and skills. We have been in contact with the Norwegian dept. for these matters, but they have no demands on the standard of the boat or the skipper.

Is there anybody that would be kind enough to make a list of safety equipment, standard on the boats /skipper similar to the the British Coding system ?
( Have been to the mcga.gov site without getting any smarter )

We will also try to use this in a dialog with the Norwegian dept, aiming to get a official Norwegian coding system.

Thanks !

Regards

Roy

Roy,

This is the link to the code on the MCA website:

https://mcanet.mcga.gov.uk/public/c4...%20Annex_1.pdf

It's about 140 pages but worth printing out and having a read.
Don't even try to make sense of it on screen!

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
Downloaded all the pages of the document. Guess I have a lot of hours with studying ahead. Anobody that got a simplyfied summary? After all, here it is a non byrocratic that will try to make rules suited to inshore charter ribbing.

Contact the Swedish Sjöfartsverket because the rumours in Swe says that rules in Norway will be similiar to the ones in Swe, but thats offcourse only a rumour and i dont know if its right.
We have very good rules for inshore charter up to 12 passangers.

Go to our site at www.quinquari.co.uk and you will find under standard specification a list of equipment supplied as standard for coding.

There are some additional points relative to constrution scantlings, operations and testing etc and if you wish I can e-mail you a concise form.

Cheers

Petrov ! Sendt a mail to sjøfartsdiriktoratet the other day, hope they will take some time and help establishing some guidelines for us.

Thanks to all !

I sometimes use this sort of incentive scheme. Do you have a website or brochure?

Why? Enjoy your freedom while you have it!

Because it is very difficult to get a proper insurance for passangers with no standards / coding system
