"Some old rules about marine accidents still apply"

Illustration for Maritime Transport Act 1994

You need to know that some instructions about marine casualties will still apply. These instructions were made under Part 3 of the Marine Pollution Act 1974 before it was repealed by section 481. The instructions will keep working as they were meant to after the repeal. You can find the repeal in section 481, which you can read about by following the link to section 481. The Director can override or change these instructions under Part 20, which you can read about by following the link to Part 20. This means the Director has the power to make changes to the instructions if needed.
