These Regulations replace the Merchant Shipping (Gas Carriers) Regulations 1986. These Regulations require gas carriers built on or after 1 July 1986, but before 1st October 1994, and ships converted during that period into gas carriers, to comply with the provisions of the 1983 edition of the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (the IGC Code). Gas carriers built or converted on or after 1st October 1994 are similarly required to comply with the 1993 edition of the IGC Code. The 1993 edition of the IGC Code incorporates amendments adopted by the Marine Safety Committee (MSC) of the International Maritime Organization. The MSC adopted the amendments at its 61st session (December 1992) by resolution MSC 30(61). Copies of the 1974 SOLAS Convention and the IGC Codes can be obtained from the International Maritime Organisation, 4 Albert Embankment, London SE1 7SR. Merchant Shipping Notices can be obtained from the Marine Safety Agency, Department of Transport, Spring Place, 105 Commercial Road, Southampton SO15 1EG, or any Marine Office of the Marine Safety Agency.

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.
