Maritime Transport Act 1994

Consequential amendments, transitional provisions, and repeals

472: Compensation for loss in acting in respect of marine casualties

You could also call this:

"Help with costs if you acted in a ship emergency before a law changed"

If you make a claim for compensation under Part 3 of the Marine Pollution Act 1974, you can still continue with it. This applies to claims you made before the Act was repealed and were still being processed. It also applies to claims you could have made just before the Act was repealed. You can make, continue, or enforce these claims as if the Marine Pollution Act 1974 was still in place, even though it has been repealed by section 481.
