Please write your boat’s HIN above.
Built by:
NORTHSTAR TEKNE URETIMI A.S.
PK 39 Gebze - Kocaeli - 41400 Turkey
for
NorthStar AS
Via Santa Franca 41,29100 Piacenza (PC) - ITALY
Your boat has been certified to be in compliance with the relevant parts of
the Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC as amended by Directive
2003/44/EC of the European Parliament. The CE mark on your boat
means that your boat meets or exceeds applicable ISO (International
Standards Organization) standards available at the time of manufacture.
Your rigid boat has been tested in regard to stability, freeboard, buoyancy
and flotation according to EN ISO 12217-1 and your inflatable boat
according to EN ISO 6185-3 so that, the requirements for the number of
persons allowed and the additional loading could be determined.
2.1. EXPLANATION OF MANUFACTURER’S PLATE:
The manufacturer’s plate, which is fixed at the console, looks like the
following:
Design Category B (225 RT)
The boat was built for the category of design B (Offshore)
Category of design B (offshore) inspected by International Marine
Certification Institute (IMCI)
Category B: Designed for offshore voyages where conditions up to,
and including, wind force 8 and significant wave heights up to, and
including 4 meters may be experienced.
Design Category C (155/175/195RT)
The boat was built for the category of design C (Inshore)
Category C: Designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays,
estuaries, lakes and rivers where conditions up to, and including,
wind force until 6 and significant wave heights up to, and including 2
meters may be experienced.
HIN : TR-MAR

NORTHSTAR MANUAL
14
The significant wave height is the mean height of the highest one-third of
the waves, which approximately corresponds to the wave height estimated
by an experienced observer. Some waves will be double this height.
For craft with outboard engines, mass of the craft in the light craft
(unladen) condition (kg) includes the mass of the heaviest recommended
outboard engine, but in some cases (a small rowing or outboard tender for
example) the craft may be used with or without the outboard. In these
cases, it would be useful to also know the weight without the outboard
motor (perhaps to see if it is light enough to carry on a car roof).
Max. = Maximum number of persons recommended
Max. + + = Maximum loading weight
Maximum load: Including passengers, personal equipment, provisions and
other loads (without fuel tank capacity).
Max. Pressure: 240 mbar Max. mbar = 240 mbar
Maximum recommended load includes the weight of all persons onboard,
all provisions and personal effects, any equipment not included in the light
craft mass, cargo (if any) and all consumable liquids (water, fuel, etc. )
Do not exceed the maximum number of persons. Regardless of the
number of persons on board, the total weight of persons and equipment
must never exceed the maximum recommended load. Always use the
seats/seating spaces provided.
When loading the craft, never exceed the maximum recommended load.
Always load the craft carefully and distribute loads appropriately to
maintain design trim (approximately level). Avoid placing heavy weights
high up.
0609 CE-marking with EC-identification number of the notified
body, International Marine Certification Institute, as a proof that the boat
was built according to the requirements of the Directive for Recreational
Crafts 94/25/EC as amended by Directive 2003/44/EC.
