MCA: Consultation Outcome – Consultation on Recasting the Merchant Shipping (Load Line)
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) ran a consultation on proposed Regulations to bring up to date the UK’s transposition of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) International Load Line Convention (ILLC) and the International Load Line Protocol (ILLP) into domestic law.
At the same time, it was proposed that they would introduce Ambulatory Reference with the Regulations to incorporate any future amendments to three technical annexes to the Convention/Protocol (the detail which is of a more technical nature) of the ILLC/ILLP into UK law by reference on an ongoing basis, instead of transposing it provision by provision.
The consultation is now closed. Details can be found here.
