The Merchant Shipping (Provisions and Water) Regulations 1989
These Regulations supersede existing Regulations laying down the requirements as to provisions and water to be provided for seamen employed in ships (including fishing vessels). The Regulations differ from earlier requirements in that –they include only a general duty to provide adequate provision and water instead of laying down detailed scales;the substance of the Regulations applies also to non-United Kingdom ships other than fishing vessels, when in United Kingdom ports.
