(b)Article 11(3) or 12(5) of the EU Ship Recycling Regulation.]

(2) Section 96 of the Act (references of detention notices to arbitration) M1 applies in relation to a refusal of access notice issued under this Part of these Regulations as it applies to a detention notice under section 95(3) of that Act, as if it were modified as follows—

(a)the references to “relevant inspector” were to a person making an inspection under this Part of these Regulations; and

(b)the following words were omitted—

(i)in subsection (1), “in pursuance of section 95(3)(b)”;

(ii)in subsection (2), from “unless” to the end;

(iii)in subsection (3), “to whether the ship was or was not a dangerously unsafe ship”; and

(iv)in subsection (5), “as a dangerously unsafe ship”.

(3) Section 97 of the Act (compensation in connection with invalid detention of ship) applies in relation to a ship to which this Part of these Regulations applies as if, for subsection (1), there were substituted—

(1) If on a reference under section 96 relating to a detention notice or refusal of access notice issued in relation to a ship, the owner of the ship shows to the satisfaction of the arbitrator that—

(a)any matter did not constitute a valid basis for the relevant inspector's opinion, and

(4) In the operation of sections 264 and 265 of the Act, as applied by regulation 25 of the Merchant Shipping (Survey and Certification) Regulations 1995, as those sections apply in relation to a detention notice or order served under that regulation on the master of a ship which is not a British ship—

(i)notwithstanding paragraph (2)(d) of that regulation, the giving of a notice under section 264 (as applied by those Regulations) does not operate to suspend the operation of the detention notice or order; and

(ii)on a reference under section 264 (as applied by those Regulations) the burden of satisfying the arbitrator as to the matters specified in section 265(1) (a) and (b) lies with the person on whom the notice was served.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
