Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations replace the Merchant Shipping (Unregistered Fishing Vessels) Regulations 1972, as a consequence of the changes in the system of registration of fishing vessels made by the Merchant Shipping Act 1988.
These Regulations still declare that the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act 1970 and of Regulations made thereunder specified in the Schedule shall extend to the fishing vessels, which are not registered in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, described in regulation 2. Section 27 of the 1970 Act (conduct endangering ships, structures or individuals), a new text for which was substituted by the 1988 Act, is applied to all unregistered fishing vessels, regardless of the nationality of their owners.
