This Order revokes the Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims (Parties to the Convention) Order 1986 (“the 1986 Order”) and the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea (Parties to Convention) Order 1987 (“the 1987 Order”).
The 1986 Order listed the states that were parties to the Convention on Limitation of Maritime Claims 1976 (“the 1976 Convention”) as at 16th December 1986. The 1986 Order had not been amended to include changes since that date.
The 1987 Order listed the states that were parties to the Athens Convention on the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea, 1974 (“the 1974 Convention”) as at 18th May 1987. The 1987 Order had not been amended to include changes since that date. The United Kingdom has denounced the 1974 Convention as a consequence of it having ratified the 2002 Protocol to the Athens Convention with effect from 23rd April 2014.
Information about the 1976 Convention, the 1974 Convention and the 2002 Protocol to the Athens Convention is available from the International Maritime Organization, 4, Albert Embankment, London, SE1 7SR (www.imo.org/ Pages/home.asp).
