(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Merchant Shipping (Light Dues) Regulations 1997 by reducing the rate per ton at which light dues are payable from 39p per ton to 38p per ton and by making a corresponding downward adjustment (£15,200 instead of £15,600) in the maximum amount for any one voyage by a ship which ends at a port or place in the United Kingdom on or after 1st April 2016.
An Explanatory Memorandum for this instrument is available from the Department for Transport, Great Minster House, 33 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 4DR and is published alongside these Regulations at http://www.legislation.gov.uk. No impact assessment has been prepared for this instrument which, because it delivers a reduction in the rate of light dues, will reduce the costs of businesses and the voluntary sector.
S.I. 1997/562; relevant amending instruments are S.I. 2006/649, 2009/1371, 2010/629, 2014/527 and 2015/458.
