This Part applies to —
all Cayman Islands ships wherever they may be;
all other ships engaged on international voyages while they are in Cayman Islands waters; and
the companies that operate them.
Unless expressly provided otherwise, this Part applies to ships to the extent of the application of the Safety Convention to that ship.
Companies shall ensure that a ship to which this Part applies complies with the Safety Convention and from the point of view of safety of life, the ship is fit for the service for which it is intended.
Notwithstanding that any provision of this Part or in the regulations is expressed to apply to ships that are not Cayman Islands ships while they are within any port in the Islands, such provision shall not apply to a ship that would not be within any such port but for stress of weather or any other circumstances that neither the master, owner nor charterer, if any, of the ship could have prevented or forestalled.
For the purposes of this Part, the classes for passenger ships not engaged on international voyages shall be defined in regulations to be made under this Part.
