(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Merchant Shipping (Load Lines) (Exemption) Order 1968 to remove the exemption for sailing ships which, if they were under 80 tons register engaged solely in the coasting trade, were exempt from the requirements of the Merchant Shipping (Load Lines) Act 1967 while not carrying cargo. Sailing ships which come within one of the other classes in the Exemption Order will still be exempt (as will pleasure yachts which are excluded from the application of the Act).
The Order also updates the reference to pilot boats.
