Maritime Transport Act 1994

481: Repeals and saving

You could also call this:

"Old rules are being removed, but some still apply for now"

When you look at the law, some old rules are being removed. The rules listed in the Schedule 7 are being repealed. This means they are no longer part of the law.

Some rules from the Marine Pollution Act 1974 are still in place, even though that act is being repealed. You will still have to follow these rules until they are officially cancelled. They will keep working as if the Marine Pollution Act 1974 was still part of the law.
