The Merchant Shipping (Distress Signals and Prevention of Collisions) (Amendment) Regulations 1991
These Regulations give effect to the amendment made by Resolution A678 (16) of the International Maritime Organization to Rule 10 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972, which are set out in the Schedule to the Merchant Shipping (Distress Signals and Prevention of Collisions) Regulations 1989. This amendment was necessary to remove the perceived ambiguity in the wording of the original text. The amendment will enter into force internationally on 19th April 1991.
