What does “near-coastal” mean on a UK certificate of competency?

The Merchant Shipping (Training and Certification) Regulations 1997 define “near-coastal voyage” as “a voyage during which the vessel is never more than 150 nautical miles from a safe haven in the United Kingdom, or never more than 30 nautical miles from a safe haven in the Republic of Ireland”. The area within these limits is sometimes referred to as the “UK near-coastal area”.
