CANALS AND INLAND WATERWAYS

Section 104 of the Transport Act 1968 provides for the inland waterways comprised in the undertaking of the British Waterways Board to be divided into commercial waterways and cruising waterways, which are specified in Parts I and II of Schedule 12 to that Act, and the remainder (known as remainder waterways). Section 105 of the Act imposes on the Board a duty to maintain the commercial waterways in a suitable condition for use by commercial freight-carrying vessels, and to maintain the cruising waterways in a suitable condition for use by cruising craft. Section 104(3) enables the Secretary of State by order to add to either of those Parts any inland waterway for the time being comprised in the undertaking of the Board which is not for the time being a commercial waterway or a cruising waterway.
