The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 1(2) of the Prevention of Oil Pollution Act 1971(1), and sections 86(2)(c) and 142(1) to (5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995(2), makes the following Regulations.
The Secretary of State is satisfied that no persons in the United Kingdom will be affected by the exercise of powers in this instrument under section 86 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 and that no consultation is necessary in accordance with section 86(4) of that Act.
The Secretary of State has had regard, in so far as it relates to the pollution of the sea by oil, to the provisions of the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic 1992 (including its Annexes) signed in Paris on 22nd September 1992(3), in accordance with section 1(2) of the Prevention of Oil Pollution Act 1971.

1995 c. 21. Section 86(2)(c) of this Act enables the Secretary of State to make transitional provisions in connection with modifications made by virtue of section 86(2)(a) or (b) in consequence or in anticipation of the making of safety regulations under section 85 of that Act. There are amendments to section 86 which are not relevant to these Regulations.
