These Regulations revoke and replace the Merchant Shipping (Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/2771) to consolidate and update the requirements for vessels in commercial use for sport or pleasure. These Regulations apply, with certain limited exceptions, to United Kingdom vessels and to non-United Kingdom vessels when operating from United Kingdom ports in United Kingdom waters (regulation 4). These Regulations also make consequential amendments (Schedule 1) and revocations (Schedule 2) arising from the revocation of the Merchant Shipping (Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure) Regulations 1998.
