Maritime Transport Act 1994

Consequential amendments, transitional provisions, and repeals

473: Instructions in relation to marine casualties unaffected

You could also call this:

"Instructions about marine accidents still apply even if the law changes."

If you receive instructions about marine casualties under Part 3 of the Marine Pollution Act 1974, these instructions still apply even after the Act is repealed by section 481. You need to follow these instructions as they were given. The Director can override or change these instructions under Part 20.
