CHAPTER 24aADDITIONAL TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR CRAFT NOT NAVIGATING ON ZONE R WATERWAYS
Article 24a.01Application of transitional provisions to craft already in service and validity of previous Community certificates
1.The following provisions apply:
(a)to craft for which a Community certificate was issued for the first time before 30 December 2008; and
(b)to craft which obtained another traffic licence before 30 December 2008,
not navigating a Zone R waterway.
2.It must be proved that those craft comply with the provisions of Chapters 1 to 12 of Annex II to Directive 82/714/EEC on the date on which the Community certificate or the other traffic licence is issued.
3.Community certificates delivered before 30 December 2008 remain valid until the date of expiry indicated on the certificate. Article 2.09(2), remains applicable.
Article 24a.02Derogations for craft already in service
1.Without prejudice to Articles 24a.03 and 24a.04, craft which do not fully comply with the provisions of this Directive must be adapted to comply with provisions which enter into force after the first issue of their Community certificate or other traffic licence in accordance with the transitional provisions listed in the table below.
2.The following definitions apply in the table below:
‘NRC’: The provision does not apply to craft which are already operating, unless the parts concerned are replaced or converted, i.e. the provision applies only to Newly-built craft and to the Replacement or Conversion of the parts or areas concerned. If existing parts are replaced by replacement parts using the same technology and of the same type, this does not constitute replacement (‘R’) within the meaning of the transitional provisions.
‘Issue or renewal of the Community certificate’: The provision must be complied with by the time of the issue or next renewal of the Community certificate after 30 December 2008. If the certificate expires between 30 December 2008 and the day before 30 December 2009, that requirement is, however, only mandatory from 30 December 2009.
| a The provision applies to vessels laid down 2 years after the date of entry into force of this Directive and to vessels in service with the following proviso: The requirements of Article 11.04 must be complied with where the entire hold area is renewed. Where a conversion modifying the clear width of the side deck covers the entire length of the side decks, (a) Article 11.04 must be complied with if the clear width of the side deck before the conversion to a height of 0,90 m, or the clear width above that height is to be reduced, (b) the clear width of the side deck before the conversion, to a height of 0,90 m, or the clear width above that height must not be lower than the measurements indicated in Article 11.04. | ||
