Summary:

The purpose of the Safety Recommendations contained in this publication is to provide information on the design, construction, equipment, training and protection of the crews of small fishing vessels with a view to promoting the safety of the vessel and the safety and health of the crews. These Safety Recommendations may also serve as a guide for those concerned with the safety of vessels used in support of aquaculture activities. The publication includes recommendations on watertight integrity and equipment, stability and associated seaworthiness, machinery and electrical installations, fire protection and fire-fighting, protection of the crew, life-saving appliances, emergency procedures and safety training, radio communication, navigational equipment, crew accommodation, and manning training and competence. While not intended as a substitute for national laws and regulations these recommendations may serve as a guide to those persons concerned with framing such national laws and regulations.Unless otherwise stated, the provisions of these Safety Recommendations are intended to apply to new decked vessels of less than 12 m in length and new undecked vessels intended to operate at sea (as well as on oceans, rivers, lakes and dams, or on any body of water).
