104Emergency safety noticesU.K.
This section has no associated Explanatory Notes
(1)This section applies if it appears to an enforcement authority that serious interference with legitimate uses of the sea is occurring, or is likely to occur, in its area as a result of—
(a)any works for the carrying out of which a marine licence is or was needed, or
(b)any substantial and unforeseen change in the state or position of any such works.
(2)The enforcement authority may issue a notice (an “emergency safety notice”) to any person who is in control of the works to which the notice relates.
(3)By issuing an emergency safety notice to a person, the enforcement authority imposes on that person such requirements as are prescribed in the notice with respect to any of the matters specified in subsection (4).
(4)Those matters are—
(a)the provision of lights, signals or other aids to navigation;
(b)the stationing of guard ships.
(5)An emergency safety notice (in addition to specifying the requirements which it imposes)—
(a)must state the enforcement authority's grounds for believing that serious interference with legitimate uses of the sea is occurring or is likely to occur,
(b)must state the date and time from which the requirements are to take effect (which may be a time on the date of the notice but must allow a period for compliance which is reasonable in all the circumstances of the case), and
(c)may require the person to take such steps as the authority considers appropriate to ensure that compliance with the requirements takes place safely.
