1 GENERAL
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of establishing the “Minimum Crew Transfer Vessel Requirements” is to ensure a minimum level
of all chartered/used vessels within SGRE Wind Power Limited. While it is acknowledged that some
requirements may exceed the statutory requirements for the vessel type, they have nevertheless been included
in order to ensure that a vessel can perform at the level required by SGRE and to ensure that in doing so it can
achieve this higher level of performance with no consequence to the requirement for zero harm to persons, and
the environment.
1.2 Scope of application and validity

This document applies to Crew Transfer Vessels chartered for/or used by SGRE Wind Power Limited or
chartered third party contracted vessels entering a SGRE-operated windfarm.
