6. Operations Updates Lucie Bergeron and Daniel Michaud Domestic Voyages Requirements The application subsection of Part 2, subsection 201(2), of the MTSR was amended (last summer 2014) to clarify that Part 2 does not apply to Canadian-flagged SOLAS and non-solas ships while operating on a domestic voyage or the domestic portion of an international voyage. An MSOB (2014-002) was released last December 2014 for the purpose of: providing information and guidance on the subject of Canadian vessels conducting voyages between marine facilities within Canada and Canadian marine facilities that interface with them, and supporting a well-coordinated and efficient implementation of the provisions of the Marine Transportation Security Regulations (MTSR) Part 2 as it relates to domestic voyages. It requires the operators of Canadian flagged vessels subject to the MTSR to include procedures in their vessel security plans to mitigate security vulnerabilities when operating on the domestic portion of a voyage and submit them to Transport Canada Marine Security for review and approval. 8
Domestic Voyages Requirements Transport Canada granted a transitional period until July 1, 2015 to: allow existing vessels operators to meet all MTSR requirements, including the Regulations Amending the MTSR requirements, SOR 2014-162, published in the Canada GazetteII on 2 July 2014 and to provide time for Canadian vessels and marine facilities subject to the regulations to operationally implement the changes. Additionnel information should be provided in the near future to further clarify some interpretation questions in regards to the amendments.
