(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Merchant Shipping (Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure) Regulations 1998. They add the Code of Practice for the Safety of Small Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure Operating from a Nominated Departure Point as a Code with which such ships may comply, as an alternative to other Regulations listed in Schedule 2 to the 1998 Regulations. The Code applies to vessels which operate to sea up to 20 miles from a Nominated Departure Point. It is, therefore, complementary to the Codes of Practice for the Safety of Small Commercial Sailing and Motor Vessels.
A regulatory impact assessment has been produced and a copy laid in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies may be obtained from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Spring Place, 105 Commercial Road, Southampton SO15 1EG (Tel. No. 02380 329 100).
The Code of Practice referred to in the Regulations is obtainable from the Stationery Office.
1995 c. 21; sections 85 and 86 were amended by the Merchant Shipping and Maritime Security Act 1997 (c. 28), section 8.
