From an engineering point of view, if you're saying that we should be so many inches above the waterline, clearly, if a boat was built with less than those standards, it's impossible to change the boat—I suppose it's not impossible, but nearly impossible—as opposed to simply putting a couple more flotation devices or something on the boat that would bring it up to safety standards.

Depending on their cargo, they lose anywhere between 100 and 300 tonnes for every inch they can't load because of low waters.

- their displacement corresponding to the design waterline is less than 500 m3, and

Any arrangement for completing the Europass-Mobility in electronic form – either downloaded or on line – should allow any field, which has not been completed to be removed, so that no blank field appears on the screen or in the printed version.
