The Merchant Shipping (Modification of Enactments) (Bareboat Charter Ships) Order 1994
This Order provides that, in relation to ships which are registered as bareboat charter ships under section 7 of the Merchant Shipping (Registration, etc.) Act 1993, references, however phrased, in the Merchant Shipping Acts and other enactments to the “owner” (whether of a British or of a United Kingdom ship, or of a ship registered in the United Kingdom) mean the registered charterer.
