Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea (United Kingdom Carriers) Order 1987 as a consequence of the coming into force of the 1976 Protocol to the Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage 1974 (which replaces the reference to gold francs in the Athens Convention by references to Special Drawing Rights). That Order provides a higher limit for United Kingdom carriers. This Order substitutes references to gold francs by appropriate references to “units of account”, (the definition and conversion into sterling of which are provided in paragraphs 3 and 4 of Part III of Schedule 3 to the Merchant Shipping Act 1979, which comes into force on the same day as this Order).
