The Merchant Shipping (Local Passenger Vessels) (Crew) Regulations 2006
These Regulations revoke and re-enact that part of regulation 14 (additional crew) of the Merchant Shipping (Local Passenger Vessels) (Masters’ Licences and Hours, Manning and Training) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/1213, the “1993 Regulations”) as relates to the qualifications to be held by members of the crew of passenger ships operating on inland waterways and on some short coastal voyages. The remaining provisions of regulation 14 have been superseded by the provisions in the Merchant Shipping (Survey and Certification) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/1210) relating to passenger certificates for such vessels. The Regulations also make transitional provision for approvals given under the 1993 Regulations and re-enact regulation 16 of those Regulations (power to detain) for the purpose of enforcement.
