That this jet boat fitted with a canopy did not have the path of emergency exit from the passenger compartment clearly marked and explained to the passengers during the safety briefing.

New draft rule Part 82, which is intended to replace the present Part 80, will propose that emergency exits on boats fitted with canopies should be clearly marked as such. The need to identify the exit during safety briefings will be followed up during liaison visits with the two operators who have canopy type boats. Please note we are unable to accept the following recommendation until further work is undertaken.
