The Great Yarmouth Port Authority Harbour Revision Order 1989

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order reconstitutes the Great Yarmouth Port and Haven Commissioners as the Great Yarmouth Port Authority, with individual Commissioners to be known in future as Members.

The Members are to consist of the Chief Executive and ten other persons to be appointed as follows:

(a) two by the Great Yarmouth Borough Council and one by the Norfolk County Council;

(b) two by the General Council of British Shipping after consultation with persons appearing to them to be representative of owners and operators of ships using the port of Great Yarmouth;

(c) one by the British Shippers' Council after consultation with the Great Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce;

(d) two by the British Shippers' Council after consultation with the Great Yarmouth Port Users' Association and any other persons appearing to them to be, or to represent the interests of, commercial users of the port of Great Yarmouth;

(e) one by the Royal Yachting Association after consultation with the Broads Hire Boat Federation;

(f) one by the Transport and General Workers' Union, being a person involved in port activities in Great Yarmouth.

The Rivers Committee shall cease to exist from the commencement of the Order.

The Order introduces an additional ground for declaring the office of a Member to be vacant, namely persistently acting in a manner calculated seriously to impede or prejudice the carrying on of the business of the Port Authority.

The Order makes consequential amendments and repeals of enactments relating to the constitution of the Commissioners and contains procedural and incidental provisions.
