1 UMS requirements applicability

With regard to the applicability of the UMS requirement, a distinction is made as follows:

  • Ship with certification date from July 1st, 2010

  • Ship with certification date before July 1st, 2010

1.1 Ship with certification date from July 1st, 2010

In cases where a shipowner opts for UMS-notation, the ship will in principle be assigned with formal UMS-notation by the Recognised Organisation (RO), based on their requirements.

For smaller ships (with a ITC'69 length between 12 and 24 meter and with a propulsion power <750kW) and in case UMS-requirements of concerned RO are not possible: the UMS requirements as per Regulation Safety Seagoing Vessels, Annex 3 (paragraph 3) or Annex 3a (paragraph 3), as applicable shall be applied.1

For ships that fall into this distinction, the NSI has authorized and requires the RO to perform the initial and periodical surveys for compliance with the UMS-requirements.

1.2 Ship with certification date before July 1st, 2010

For the ships certified by the Netherlands Shipping Inspectorate (NSI) for UMS before July 1st, 2010 a dedicated checklist is provided on board, based on the specific (older) NSI UMS-guidelines that were applied for that specific ship (see also the legend of Overview ships with Unattended Machinery Spaces – notation by the Netherlands Shipping Inspectorate, as amended, for detailed information).

For ships that fall into this distinction, the NSI has authorized and requires the Recognized Organization's (RO) to perform the periodical surveys for compliance with the (older) NSI UMS-guidelines.

2 Checking UMS-requirements

The UMS-requirements shall be checked and confirmed in good working condition by the RO during the initial and periodical surveys in the same manner as required for maintaining the UMS-notation by the RO, including what is stated in ItoS - SOLAS Chapter II-1 - Additional requirements for periodically unattended machinery spaces (UMS)

To that effect, in case no formal UMS notation by subject RO is applicable, a memo shall be added to the ships' status in the ROs survey and certification system. The memo shall state that the ship has been initially surveyed and accepted under the applicable UMS-requirements. Furthermore the memo shall state that the ships' UMS-requirements are surveyed at the required periodical intervals to ensure that the UMS-requirements are functioning in accordance with the applicable requirements.

3 Reporting to NSI

3.1 UMS based on national UMS-requirements, not listed in the overview

Ships which are surveyed and certified under the requirements of the (older) NSI UMS-guidelines or the UMS-requirements under RVZ Annex 3 or Annex 3a, which are not yet listed in 'Overview ships with Unattended Machinery Spaces – notation by the Netherlands Shipping Inspectorate, as amended' shall be reported back to the NSI. The NSI will arrange that these ships are included in the overview.

3.2 Notifying discrepancies to the NSI

Existing ships without documented proof of compliance with UMS-requirements, while at the same time provided with a Minimum Safe Manning Document stating that the ship has UMS, shall be reported to the NSI immediately in order to check ships' status in relation to UMS and for further instruction(s).

4 In case application of UMS requirements is not possible

Where the RO considers the application of the formal UMS-notation/requirements of the classification society (Class Rules regarding UMS) or the national UMS-requirements not possible, the RO may submit to the NSI a customized, well founded, proposal for compliance with the requirements as far as reasonably practicable. The NSI shall decide on a case-by-case basis if such customized proposal is acceptable.
