Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

These Regulations revoke and re-enact the Merchant Shipping (Navigational Equip ment) Regulations 1984, as amended in 1985, and implement the requirements of the 1988 Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Conference amendments to Regulation 12 of Chapter V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974 (SOLAS 74). The Regulations align the radar equipment requirements and radar maintenance arrangements on United Kingdom vessels with Regulation V/12 of SOLAS 74. The Regulations also align the United Kingdom magnetic compass and directionfinder requirements with Regulation V/12 of SOLAS 74. The Regulations refer to a Merchant Shipping Notice which specifies the navigational equipment performance standards adopted by the International Maritime Organisation and the relevant standards which apply to United Kingdom vessels.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
