Our safety requirements are now stronger than they were in the 80’s. Our safety experts think the following 4 regulations can be removed because more modern regulation has made them out of date. The regulations are:

  • Merchant Shipping (Weighing of Goods Vehicles and other Cargo) regulations 1988 (S.I. 1988/1275)
  • Merchant Shipping (Weighing of Goods Vehicles and other Cargo) (Amendment) regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/270)
  • Merchant Shipping (Weighing of Goods Vehicles and other Cargo) (Application to non-UK Ships) regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/568)
  • Merchant Shipping (Emergency Equipment Lockers for Ro/Ro Passenger Ships) regulations 1988 (S.I. 1988/2272)
