Part 2: Legislative and executive competence: further provision Chapter 11: Harbours Section 29: Welsh harbours
This section transfers to the Welsh Ministers a number of functions relating to harbours that are wholly in Wales, other than reserved trust ports as defined in section 32. The functions transferred are functions of a Minister of the Crown under legislation concerning harbours, harbour authorities and pilotage and they are specified in subsection (2). ‘Wales’ is defined in subsection (7) as having the same meaning as in GoWA; it includes the sea adjacent to Wales up to the seaward boundary of the territorial sea, with the boundary of the sea adjacent to Wales in the Dee and Severn estuaries being determined by order (see GoWA, sections 158(1) and (3) and paragraph 27(3) of Schedule 11, and the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999, S.I.1999/672, article 6 and Schedule 3).
	Functions under the Harbours Act 1964 that have been delegated by the Secretary of State using powers in section 42A of that Act are included in the functions transferred (subsection (3)). By the Harbours Act 1964 (Delegation of Functions) Order 2010, S.I. 2010/674, certain functions were delegated to the Marine Management Organisation (MMO).
	Where any function transferred relates to two or more harbours, the function is transferred only if both, or all, the harbours are wholly in Wales and are not reserved trust ports (subsection (4)).
	A function specified is not transferred to the extent that it can be exercised to create a cross-border harbour (subsection (5)). A cross-border harbour is a harbour that is partly in England and partly in Wales (subsection (7) and section 34(5)).
