If your ship was constructed on or after 1st July 2014 you are required to comply. The exact amendment to the regulations is as follows:

Those two-way portable radiotelephone apparatus shall be of an explosion-proof type or intrinsically safe. Ships constructed before 1 July 2014 shall comply with the requirements of this paragraph not later than the first survey after 1 July 2018.”
