I move amendment No. 4:

In page 28, between lines 35 and 36, to insert the following:“ “cargo ship” means any ship in relation to which a cargo ship safety construction certificate is in force;”.

The purpose of this amendment is to fine-tune the definition of the term "cargo ship", which potentially could be open to different interpretations. This amendment provides for the definitions associated with Part 5 of the Bill on the regulation of offshore vessels. This is to provide clarity and consistency across the text of the legislation and the other legislation. This provides clarity as to what constitutes a cargo ship and links it to the appropriate certificate for such a ship. That may form the base certificate for an offshore service vessel in future.
