Provision is made for exemptions to these requirements in restricted
circumstances where compliance with the rule is impractical or inappropriate.
The rules, which incorporate a standard for personal floatation
devices, also make the wearing of personal floatation devices mandatory
in certain circumstances.
Part 91 modifies and carries over some provisions from the General
Harbour (Nautical and Miscellaneous) Regulations 1968 in respect
of anchoring and mooring, Give Way rules, wakes, and proximity to
oil tankers and ships carrying dangerous goods.
Part 91 sets basic national navigation standards. These standards
may be enforced locally by Regional Councils through consistent
bylaws made under the Local Government Act 1974. Regional variation
is permitted in the navigation safety bylaws through mechanisms
prescribed in Part 91.
