Yes. The vessel is required to be fully compliant with the relevant code of practise against the parameters (Area Category, Maximum Persons Carried) given on the SCMS issued commercial Certificate. If the vessel wishes to reduce or increase any of these parameters then a new Certificate must be issued and LSA checked against the increased or reduced requirements.
