The Merchant Shipping (Registration of Ships, and Tonnage) (Amendment) Regulations 1999
These Regulations further amend the Merchant Shipping (Registration of Ships) Regulations 1993 (“the 1993 Regulations”). Their primary purpose is to require that the engine power recorded for fishing vessels is the maximum continuous engine power, or that power as permanently de-rated, as required by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2930/86 of 22nd September 1986 (defining characteristics for fishing vessels) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 1381/87 of 20th May 1987 (establishing detailed rules concerning the marking and documentation of fishing vessels).
