The Merchant Shipping Act 1970 (Overseas Territories) Order 1988
This Order applies, with the necessary modifications, the Merchant Shipping Act 1970 to Anguilla, the Falkland Islands, Montserrat and the British Virgin Islands. This has the effect, principally, of repealing Part II of the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 (c. 60) as it applies there, and replacing the repealed provisions with those of the 1970 Act so as to bring the territories' laws concerning masters and seamen more closely into line with the law in the United Kingdom.
