Maritime Transport Act 1994

Transitional and consequential provisions relating to maritime transport

207: Abolition of Marine Council and Marine Advisory Committee, etc

You could also call this:

"Some maritime groups are closed, including the Marine Council and Marine Advisory Committee."

The Marine Council and the Marine Advisory Committee are abolished. You will not see these groups working anymore. The Mercantile Marine Office and other bodies set up under the Shipping and Seamen Act 1952 are also abolished, including the Maritime Appeal Authority which is disestablished under section 82A.

If you were a member of one of these abolished groups, you will have to leave your position when this Act starts. You will not get any money for losing your job.

The government made some changes to the rules about these groups, and you can find more information about these changes in the Tribunals Powers and Procedures Legislation Act 2018.
