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

You could also call this:

"Getting compensation for losses from marine accidents"

Illustration for Maritime Transport Act 1994

You can still make a claim for compensation under Part 3 of the Marine Pollution Act 1974. This applies if you made a claim before the Act was repealed and it was still being processed. It also applies if you could have made a claim just before the Act was repealed. You can continue or make a claim after the repeal as if the Act was still in place. This is because of section 481 of the Maritime Transport Act 1994. You can find more information about this in the link to section 481. If you have a claim, it can be enforced after the repeal of the Marine Pollution Act 1974. This means you can still get compensation for your loss. The repeal of the Act does not stop your claim from being processed.
