Maritime Transport Act 1994

Safety at sea - General provisions relating to safety

178: Medical officers to be carried on certain ships

You could also call this:

"Some ships used to have to carry a doctor on board."

There was a rule that said certain ships had to have a medical officer on board. This rule was part of the Maritime Transport Act 1994. You can find more information about the change to this rule in section 187.

This rule is no longer in effect, it was repealed on 2 February 1998. It actually expired the day before, on 1 February 1998. The repeal of the rule means it does not apply to ships anymore.
