CODIGO INTERNACIONAL DE SEGURIDA PARA NAVES DE GRAN VELOCIDAD (CODIGO NGV)

The International Code of Safety for High-Speed Craft, 2000 (2000 HSC Code)is a successor to the International Code of Safety for High-Speed Craft that was adopted in 1994. The 1994 HSC Code applies to high-speed craft that are involved in international voyages and for which the keels are laid after 1 January 1996. The 2000 HSC Code applies to craft for which the keels are laid, or which are at a similar stage of construction, on or after 1 July 2002. The application of the 1994 HSC Code is mandatory under chapter X of the SOLAS Convention; if the appropriate amendments to that Convention are accepted, by tacit acceptance, on 1 January 2002, the 2000 HSC Code will be similarly mandatory from 1 July 2002.
