The Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Pollution from Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk) Regulations 2018
These Regulations implement the revised version of Annex II of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 (“the MARPOL Convention”). Annex II contains regulations for the Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk. As a consequence of these Regulations, the Merchant Shipping (Dangerous or Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/3010) and amending instruments (S.I. 1998/1153 and S.I. 2004/930) which implemented the previous version of Annex II, are revoked. Other consequential amendments and partial revocations are also made. Future amendments of provisions of the Convention and other instruments specified in these Regulations will be automatically incorporated into the Regulations by way of ambulatory reference (regulation 4).
