The latest edition of the Workboat Code enters into force before the end of 2023. It replaces The Workboat Code Edition 2, and also the original Brown Code.
This Code applies to workboats, pilot boats and Remotely Operated Unmanned Vessels under 24m operating in UK waters, or under the UK flag operating internationally.
This Code supersedes the original Code, Workboat Code Edition 2, and also the use of MGN 280(M), moving all applicable vessels (irrelevant of age or previous certification) onto one set of legal requirements.
