PART 5 OFFENCES, PENALTIES, INSPECTIONS AND DETENTIONS

23 Enforcement of detention
1 Section 284 of the Act (enforcing detention of ship) applies where a ship is liable to be detained under these Regulations as if—
(a) references to detention of a ship under the Act were references to detention of a ship in question under these Regulations; and
(b) subsection (7) were omitted.
Section 284 was amended by the Merchant Shipping and Maritime Security Act 1997, section 9 and Schedule 1 paragraph 5.
2 Where a ship is liable to be detained under these Regulations, the person detaining the ship shall serve on the master of the ship a detention notice which shall—
(a) state that a surveyor of ships is of the opinion that in relation to that ship there is a failure to comply with the requirements of these Regulations;
(b) specify the matters which, in the opinion of the surveyor of ships, have the effect that in relation to that ship those requirements are not met; and
(c) require the terms of the notice to be complied with until the ship is released by any person mentioned in section 284(1) of the Act.
