The Code aims, among other things, to establish an international framework for co-operation between Contracting Governments, Government agencies, local administrations and the shipping and port industries to detect security threats and take preventive measures against security incidents affecting ships or port facilities used in international trade and to establish relevant roles and responsibilities at the national and international level.

This Code (resolution A.536(13) as amended by resolution A.831(19)) was formulated to minimize the risks to ships and to floating structures equipped with diving systems and their divers and personnel and to facilitate the international movement of these ships and floating structures in the context of diving operations. To achieve this the Code recommends design criteria and construction, equipment and survey standards for diving systems.

Le Recueil International de règles de sécurité applicables aux engins à grande vitesse, 1994 (Recueil HSC de 1994) a été adopté par le Comité de la sécurité maritime, lors de sa soixante-troisième session (mai 1994) par la résolution MSC.36(63). La Conférence SOLAS de 1994 (mai 1994) a rendu le Recueil HSC de 1994 obligatoire par l'ajout d'un nouveau chapitre X qui est entré en vigueur en janvier 1996.

Le Recueil HSC de 1994 a été élaboré à la suite d'une révision du Recueil de règles de sécurité applicables aux engins à portance dynamique (résolution A.373(X)) et compte tenu de l'augmentation de la taille et des types d'engins à grande vitesse.
