28.  In Regulation 5 after paragraph (3) there shall be added:

(3A). Vessels of less than 45 metres in length shall be provided with:

(a)survival craft of sufficient aggregate capacity to accommodate at least 200% of the total number of persons on board. Sufficient of these survival craft to accommodate at least the total number of persons on board shall be capable of being launched from either side of the vessel; and

(b)a rescue boat, except where the Secretary of State is satisfied that, because of the size and the manoeuvrability of the vessel, the near availability of search and rescue facilities and meteorological warning systems, the operation of the vessel in areas not susceptible to heavy weather or the seasonal characteristics of the operation, such provision is unnecessary..
