The Scottish Ministers (the “Ministers”) make the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred by section 14(1) and (3) of the Harbours Act 1964(1) and all other powers enabling Ministers to do so.
In accordance with section 14(1) of that Act, this Order is made in relation to a harbour which is being improved, maintained or managed by a harbour authority in the exercise and performance of statutory powers and duties, for achieving objects specified in Schedule 2 to that Act(2).
In accordance with section 14(2) of that Act—
(a)this Order is made following a written application to Ministers by the Eyemouth Harbour Trustees (“the applicant”) being the authority engaged in improving, maintaining or managing the harbour, and
(b)the Ministers are satisfied that the making of this Order is desirable in the interests of securing the improvement, maintenance, or management of the harbour in an efficient and economical manner and facilitating the efficient and economic transport of goods and passengers by sea.
In accordance with section 14(2A) of that Act(3), the objects for achieving which this Order is made include repealing superseded, obsolete, or otherwise unnecessary statutory provisions of local application affecting the harbour.
The provisions of paragraph 17 of Schedule 3 of that Act (4) have been satisfied. All objections to the application have been withdrawn.
In accordance with paragraph 19(6) of that Schedule(5), Ministers have decided to make this Order with modifications which do not appear to Ministers substantially to affect the character of the Order.
