Port marine safety code

Port marine safety code

The UK Port Marine Safety Code (PMSC) was developed in 2000 and offers a national standard for port safety in the UK with the aim to "improve safety for those who use or work in ports, their ships, passengers and cargoes, and the environment" [ [http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/shippingports/ports/pmsc/portmarinesafetycode Keith Hill, MP, Minister for Shipping, Department for Transport website] ] . All Harbour Authorities must comply with the code which, while not law, is not compulsory [ [http://www.marineenforcement.co.uk/pmsc.html Marine Enforcement website] ] . It can be found here: [http://www.coastms.co.uk/PortsandtheEnvironment/Advice%20Encyclopedias%20CD/Port%20Marine%20Safety%20Code.pdf] .

The Code reported on the "Dieppe" which grounded at Newhaven in December 2005.
