Definitions of CE design categories:
A OCEAN: Designed for extended voyages where conditions may exceed wind force 8 (Beaufort scale) and significant wave
heights of 4 m and above but excluding abnormal conditions, and vessels largely self-sufficient.
B OFFSHORE: Designed for offshore voyages where conditions up to, and including wind force 8 and significant wave heights
up to, and including, 4 m may be experienced.
C INSHORE: Designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers where conditions up to, and
including, wind force 6 and significant wave heights up to, and including, 2 m may be experienced.
D SHELTERED WATERS: Designed for voyages on sheltered coastal waters, small bays, small lakes, rivers and canals when
conditions up to, and including, wind force 4 and significant wave heights up to, and including, 0,3 m may be experienced, with
occasional waves of 0,5 m maximum height, for example from passing vessels.
NOTE: 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.
