PAYG will be an additional way for passengers to pay for their travel, with smart card and paper tickets remaining available. We are making changes to simplify fares to ensure PAYG works for passengers and will announce further details in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 06/07/2023 08:06:43 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what are the requirements that (a) a vessel and (b) an operator must meet to operate in offshore wind in both territorial waters and the UK exclusive economic zone.
	tabling member constituency	East Lothian
	tabling member printed	Kenny MacAskill
	uin	141635
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2023 answer text <p>The Statutory Certification requirements for a vessel to operate in offshore wind in both territorial waters and the UK exclusive economic zone (EEZ) depends on the vessel type. The most common type of vessel operating in this sector is a High-Speed Offshore Service Craft (HSOSC). HSOSC’s are permitted to operate with up to 60 industrial personnel (walk to work) with a vessel less than 500 gross tonnage (GT). This can be up to 150nm from the UK coast, which would then include the EEZ. This would need to be certified in accordance with the HS(OSC) Code.</p><p> </p><p>Other types of vessels that work within this sector such as Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU), Mobile Offshore Unit (MOU), Mobile Offshore Windfarm Unit (MOWU) are subject to the same statutory requirements as a cargo vessel. When workboats are used they are restricted to 12 passengers onboard, that are not crew. Special Purpose Vessel (SPS) over 500GT carrying more than 12 passengers are certificated as passenger vessels or under the Special Purpose Ships Safety (SPS) Code (MGN 674(M)). Any Offshore Supply Vessel, Emergency Response Rescue Vessel (ERRV) or conventional cargo vessel would be certificated with the applicable conventions subject to the GT and/or length, or UK legislation where they are outside of the applicable limits of the appropriate convention.</p><p> </p><p>Operators need to contact the MCA to verify that the vessels are appropriately certified. Some vessel types may require compliance with the ISM Code which requires operators to hold a Document of Compliance (DoC).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 15/02/2023 11:53:25 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
