MERCHANT SHIPPING
These Regulations amend the Merchant Shipping (Registration of Ships) Regulations 1993, as amended. The principal changes are:the definition of persons qualified to own ships registered in the United Kingdom now includes persons (both non-UK EC nationals, and EEA Agreement nationals) exercising either their right of freedom of movement of workers or, as formerly, their right of establishment (regulations 3, 4, 5 and 17);the method of making application for registration is broadened (regulation 6);amendments are made to the evidence and details required on registration (regulations 7, 8 and 9);changes to renewal of registration allow greater advanced application for renewal, and the transitional period for re-registration under the system set up by the 1993 Regulations is considerably extended (regulations 10, 11 and 22–26);there are stricter requirements on notification of changes, and for the tonnage of a ship to be correctly recorded (regulations 12, 20 and 21 ).
