Council Directive 1999/35/EC of 29 April 1999 on a system of mandatory surveys for the safe operation of regular ro-ro ferry and high-speed passenger craft services · European Union

(8) Whereas port State control does not provide for regular in-depth preventive surveys and verifications for ro-ro ferries and high speed passenger craft; whereas it therefore should be verified that companies and their ferries and craft comply with the safety standards agreed within the IMO and, where appropriate, at regional level, through a system of regular mandatory inspections by host States; whereas companies should be prevented from operating such ferries and craft if these inspections reveal dangerous non-conformity with these safety standards;
