SOLAS regulation V/30 (which is given effect in the UK by The Merchant Shipping (Safety of Navigation) Regulations) 2002 requires all passenger ships to which SOLAS chapter I applies (i. e. ships carrying more than 12 passengers on international voyages) to have a list of all limitations on the operation of the ship, including exemptions from any SOLAS regulations, restrictions in operating areas, weather restrictions, sea state restrictions, restrictions in permissible loads, trim, speed and any other limitations, whether imposed by the flag State Administration or established during design or building. The list must be compiled before the ship is put in service, and together with any necessary explanations, must be documented in a form acceptable to the flag State Administration, must be kept on board readily available to the master, and must be kept updated.

The Ship andPort Facility (Security) Regulations 2004 (SI 2004/1495). (The Regulations actually give effect to an EC Regulation (Regulation (EC) No. 725/2004) which extends the application of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and Part A of the ISPS Code to domestic shipping in respect of Class A passenger ships, their companies and the port facilities serving them.)

A "duly authorised officer" (i. e. an MCA or DfT Maritime Security official) may serve an Enforcement Notice on the company, the CSO, the SSO, the master, the PFSO, the owner of the Port Facility Security Plan and any person who carries on port operations in a port facility where it appears to him that the person failed to comply with the requirements of SOLAS Chapter XI-2, Part A of the ISPS Code, certain paragraphs of Part B of the ISPS Code, or the requirement to submit to an inspection by the European Commission and rectify any shortcomings identified by the inspection, or the requirement to submit specified changes or amendments to a ship security plan or Port Facility Security Plan to the MCA or DfT Maritime Security (as appropriate) for approval.
