Explanatory Note
(This note does not form part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Merchant Shipping (Minimum Standards of Safety Communications) Regulations 1997, to take account of changes made to Council Directive 94/58/EC on the minimum level of training for seafarers made by Council Directive 98/35 (OJ No. L172, 17.6.98, page 1).
The principal change is that a common working language is required to be established on passenger ships and hovercraft.
The STCW Convention 1978 and its 1995 amendments are obtainable from the International Maritime Organization, 4 Albert Embankment, London SE1 4SR.
