The Merchant Shipping (Property of Deceased Seamen and Official Log Books) (Amendment) Regulations 1983
These Regulations revoke the Merchant Shipping (Property of Deceased Seamen) Regulation 1972, which made provision in respect of certain property and wages of specified deceased seamen. The requirements for entries in log books contained in both the Merchant Shipping (Official Log Books) Regulations 1981 and the Merchant Shipping (Official Log Books) (Fishing Vessels) Regulations 1981 are accordingly amended, but the obligation to record all items of property left on board a ship by a seaman dying while or after being employed in the ship remains.
