1994 HSC Code (International Code of Safety for High Speed Craft), 1995 Edition - Digital e-Reader

The High-Speed Craft Code, 1994 (1994 HSC Code) was derived from the previous Code of Safety for Dynamically Supported Craft (DSC Code) adopted by IMO in 1977, recognizing that safety levels can be significantly enhanced by the infrastructure associated with regular service on a particular route, whereas the conventional ship safety philosophy relies on the ship being self-sustaining with all necessary emergency equipment being carried on board.

The 1994 HSC Code applies to high-speed craft that are involved in international voyages and for which the keels were laid after 1 January 1996 and before 1 July 2002. This code is mandatory under chapter X of the SOLAS Convention.
