The Merchant Shipping Act 1970 (Unregistered Ships) Regulations 1991
These Regulations replace the Merchant Shipping (Unregistered Ships) Regulations 1972, which applied certain provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act 1970 and Regulations made thereunder to certain unregistered ships. The changes are consequential on the change made by Part I of the Merchant Shipping Act 1988 in making qualified ships entitled to be registered in the United Kingdom, instead of, as previously, required to be registered, or exempted from the requirement.
