Key points

  • Harmonization of inspection rules across the EU to reduce legal uncertainty and administrative overlap.
  • Classification of ro-ro ferries and high-speed passenger craft as high-risk vessels that must be prioritized for inspections.
  • Implementation of a regular inspection cycle, requiring two annual inspections spaced between four and eight months apart.
  • Strict enforcement of prohibition of departure orders in cases where deficiencies pose an immediate danger to life or health.
