EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations implement provisions in Directive 2009/15/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 23rd April 2009 on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations and for the relevant activities of maritime administrations (OJ No L 131, 28.5.2009, p47).

Regulation 2 implements Article 13 of the Directive by revoking the Merchant Shipping (Ship Inspection and Survey Organisations) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/2908), which contained provisions through which the United Kingdom had partially implemented Council Directive 94/57/EC of 22nd November 1994 on common rules and standards of ship inspection and survey organisations and for the relevant activities of maritime administrations (OJ NoL 319, 12.12.1994, p20). That Directive was repealed by Article 14 of Directive 2009/15/EC.

Regulation 3 introduces the Schedule which contains consequential amendments arising from the revocation in regulation 2. Those organisations which have an agreement with the Secretary of State pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2009/15/EC are identified in Merchant Shipping Notice 1672.
