Red Ensign Group to create new consolidated yacht code
A new consolidated code for regulating the construction and operation of superyachts will be introduced by the Red Ensign Group next year, it has been announced. Known as the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code, the new framework aims to consolidate and build upon the outgoing LY3 and PYC codes.
In a statement, the Red Ensign Group said: “This code further develops the well-established industry standards of LY3 and PYC, combining the lessons learned from almost 20 years of regulating the large yacht sector.”
Updated to meet the latest SOLAS requirements, the new code uses industry equivalences to reduce the administrative burden on shipyards. Due to be introduced at the 2017 Monaco Yacht Show , the new code will be split into two parts.
As before, Part A will apply to yachts which are 24 metres and over in load line length, are in commercial use for sport or pleasure, do not carry cargo and do not carry more than 12 passengers.
Part B will consist of the latest version of the PYC applicable to pleasure yachts of any size, in private use or engaged in trade, which carry more than 12 but not more than 36 passengers and which do not carry cargo.
Common annexes will cover the regulation of superyacht helicopter decks , ensuring continuity with the previous codes, while the restrictions regarding gross tonnage will remain unchanged.
The Red Ensign Group added that the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry will take the lead in developing the new code, and a series of industry working groups will be set up to ensure that the code is practicable and internationally recognised.
Comprised of the UK and several British overseas territories, the Red Ensign Group regulates roughly 80% of the world’s large yachts, including the 162 metre Eclipse and the 156 metre Dilba r .

Red Ensign Group releases updated Yacht Code for 2024
11 January 2024
The Red Ensign Group (REG) has released an updated version of its flagship Yacht Code, a comprehensive framework that establishes the benchmark for safety and design standards in the yachting industry. The new revision, representing the collective expertise gained across nearly three decades of regulatory experience since its initial publication in 1997, marks the first major update since 2019.
Developed over a two-year period in close consultation with the REG Yacht Code Industry Working Group, a broad-based forum encompassing shipyards, designers, management companies, and regulatory authorities, the revised Code incorporates substantial changes to reflect recent amendments issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and accommodate current trends and innovation in yacht design.
To ensure consistent application and a level playing field across the industry, the revision provides further clarification to areas of the Code that were previously open to interpretation. While the updated document is now available, it will not come into full force until July 2024, allowing the industry ample time to familiarise itself with the new guidelines and make any necessary adjustments.
A spokesperson for the Red Ensign Group emphasised the Code's dual focus on safety and innovation:
"The REG Yacht Code is the international standard for the design, construction, and operation of these vessels. We will never compromise on safety and crew welfare and maintain the highest maritime regulatory standards. However, we do recognise that it's important to support innovation and technological developments in a rapidly changing industry."
This commitment to both safety and innovation reflects the REG's dedication to fostering a thriving and responsible superyacht sector that prioritises the well-being of seafarers and upholds the highest standards of maritime safety. The updated Yacht Code serves as a testament to the REG's commitment to ensuring the continued success of the global yachting industry.

However, we urge everyone—media, the public, and all interested parties—to refrain from speculating on the causes, responsibilities, or circumstances until the official inquiry is concluded.

A surge in unqualified crew with fake or purchased CoCs
The Professional Yachting Association (PYA) and the Italian Yacht Masters Association (IYM) sound the alarm on a hidden danger: a surge in unqualified crew with fake or purchased Certificates of Competence, which raises potential safety issues for crew, passengers, and vessels.
Red Ensign Group Yacht Code revision published
A new revision of the gold standard Red Ensign Group Yacht Code, set to come into force in July 2024, has been published, which intends to provide guidance on the best practice to facilitate safe solutions for commercially operated yachts over 24 metres (78 feet) in load-line length.
The new revision represents all the expertise gained across almost three decades of regulating the large yacht sector since the first version was published by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency in 1997.
A spokesperson for Red Ensign Group said, “The Red Ensign Group Yacht Code is the international standard for the design, construction, and operation of these vessels. We will never compromise on safety and crew welfare and maintain the highest maritime regulatory standards. However, we do recognise that it’s important to support innovation and technological developments in a rapidly changing industry.”
This is the first significant revision since 2019 and has been developed over a period of two years in close consultation with the REG Yacht Code Industry Working Group, which consists of a wide-ranging number of stakeholders including shipyards, designers, management companies, and regulatory authorities.
Substantive changes have been made to reflect the relevant regulatory amendments that have been published in recent years by the IMO and to accommodate current trends and innovation in yacht design.
The new revision of the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code includes guidance on battery systems, over-side working systems, emergency training, installation of fire appliances, petrol storage, and more.
Significant amendments to the existing text have also been made to provide additional clarification to those areas of the Code which have previously been open to interpretation, to ensure its consistent application and to set a level playing field for the industry.
Although the Code will not come into force until July 2024 to give the industry time to become familiar with it and comply, it has already been published.

REG publishes revised Yacht Code
Released on 1 january, this revision from the red ensign group represents the first major update since 2019….
The Red Ensign Group (REG) has announced a significant revision to its hallmark Yacht Code, a comprehensive framework that has helped set the benchmark for yacht safety and design standards since 1997. Originally developed by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, the REG Yacht Code has been instrumental in guiding the design, construction and operation of large yachts.
According to REG, the latest iteration of the Code has been two years in the making, developed in close collaboration with the REG Yacht Code Industry Working Group. This consortium, including shipyards, designers, management companies and regulatory authorities, has played a critical role in ensuring the revised Code meets the industry’s broad spectrum of needs.
Central to the new revision is the incorporation of recent regulatory amendments by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the adaptation to contemporary trends and innovations in yacht design.
Despite the Code’s publication, it will not be enforceable until July 2024. REG has stressed that a notable aspect of the revised Code is its clarity and consistency, with previous versions leaving some areas open to interpretation. The latest revision aims to rectify this, ensuring a uniform application across the industry.
A spokesperson for the Red Ensign Group emphasised the dual focus of the Code: “The REG Yacht Code is the international standard for the design, construction and operation of these vessels. We will never compromise on safety and crew welfare and maintain the highest maritime regulatory standards. However, we do recognise that it’s important to support innovation and technological developments in a rapidly changing industry.”

Australian regulation of yachts and training vessels, and the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A
The Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A has been developed jointly by the United Kingdom, its relevant overseas territories and crown dependencies, and international industry representatives. The Code prescribes standards of safety and pollution prevention which are appropriate to the size and type of yacht. The standards applied are either set by the relevant International Conventions or by equivalent standards where it is not reasonable or practicable for yachts to comply.
Australia is a corresponding member of the Red Ensign Group.
Marine Order 52 does not apply to domestic commercial vessels (DCVs) or recreational vessels.
Australian implementation of the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A
AMSA implements the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A using Marine Order 52 (Yachts and training vessels) 2022 supported by the Australian National Annex to the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A PDF 477.52 KB which was introduced on 1 January 2023.
New yachts and training vessels
Vessels built after 1 January 2023 must comply with Marine Order 52 (Yachts and training vessels) 2022 .
Yachts, including large yachts, and training vessels will still have to comply with all international conventions not altered by the marine order, related to that vessel’s size and operations.
Existing Australian yachts and training vessels certified under the Navigation Act (2012)
Currently certified under:
- Marine Order 31 (Vessel survey and certification)
- Marine Order 52 (Sailing ships)
- Marine Order 52 (Yachts and training vessels) 2016 .
Any ship, whenever built, which is converted to a yacht or training vessel, or undergoes repairs, alterations and modifications which substantially alter the dimensions of the ship, or substantially increase the ship’s service life, shall be treated as a new vessel constructed on the date on which such conversion, repairs, alterations or modifications commenced.
Vessels seeking Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A certification
Vessels that are not built after 1 January 2023 nor currently certified under Marine Order 31 (Vessel survey and certification) , Marine Order 52 (Sailing ships) PDF 441.12 KB or Marine Order 52 (Yachts and training vessels) 2016 can apply to have their vessel certified under the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A. Operators will need to arrange a gap analysis with a recognised organisation to find out what may be required to achieve compliance.
If the vessel does not comply due to its construction or existing arrangements, AMSA may determine if an equivalent solution will be acceptable, so the vessel can then be considered compliant under the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A. Owners should liaise with their respective recognised organisation when considering a potential application for compliance.
Yachts and training vessels must still comply with the other international conventions, as relevant to the vessel’s size and operations. However the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A and the LY3 Code may be used as an equivalence arrangement under the provisions of Article 8 of the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966, Regulation I-5 of the International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea, and Article 9 of the International Convention on Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers 1978 as amended. Australia has notified the IMO of the above.
How does Marine Order 52 (Yachts and training vessels) 2022 apply to foreign yachts?
If your foreign flagged yacht, including large yacht, or training vessel arrives at an Australian port, it may – if eligible – be inspected. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to make sure that the yacht/large yacht/training vessel is appropriately surveyed, certified and maintained. Australia has requirements for commercial vessels as required by AMSA’s marine orders.
When you are inspected, the yacht/large yacht/training vessel must follow one of the following:
- comply with all the international conventions that apply to a foreign flagged vessel of its size and operations.
- have evidence issued by the flag state saying that the vessel is seaworthy if an international convention does not apply to the vessel because of its size.
- be certified as a large yacht under the LY3 code, Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A or another contemporary code adopted by the flag State.
- if the vessel does not carry evidence issued by the flag State of certification as a commercially operating large yacht, the LY3 Code or the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A will be applied in order to assess compliance of the vessel.
