The Duty to Report undergoes a number of changes, extending to include watercraft (specifically commercial craft under 8m in length when operating in harbour or inland waterways). Additionally, the updated regulation will incorporate definitions for “intended pleasure vessels” and “recreational craft” which have otherwise been reflected in other regulation. The updates will also provide greater clarity by better articulating the twin components of reporting (examining the circumstances of an accident and providing a report to the Chief Inspector). Building on this desire for clarity there will be an express exemption to the automatic reporting of an accident. This is because the MAIB's jurisdiction only extends to UK ships in UK waters and so provenance of a ship is subject to the Chief Inspector’s determination.
