Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Merchant Shipping (Light Dues) Regulations 1997.
The Regulations reduce the amount of light dues payable per voyage in respect of ships other than tugs, fishing vessels and pleasure vessels from 40 pence to 39 pence per ton. They further provide for the maximum amount for such light dues to be reduced from £16,000 to £13, 650 per voyage.
The new rates will mean a reduction in costs for shipping operators who pay light dues.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no adverse impact on the costs of business.
