The Merchant Shipping (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 1991
These Regulations amend the Merchant Shipping (Fees) Regulations 1991 consequent on the delegation of radio survey work to British Telecommunications plc by the Merchant Shipping (Radio and Radio-Navigational Equipment Survey) Regulations 1991 and the Fishing Vessels (Safety Provisions) (Amendment) Rules 1991. The fees for the work involved leading to the issue of a certificate (including the issue itself) is to be charged at an hourly rate of £44, together with a fixed fee of £72 for fishing vessels, and £88 for other ships, in place of an hourly rate only of £55. Where the survey is performed abroad by a locally appointed surveyor, a separate charge at the hourly rate is made for the issue of a certificate.
