MERCHANT SHIPPING (BCH CODE) REGULATIONS - REGULATION 3A

Application of amendments to BCH Code

Where any amendment to the BCH Code involves changes to the structure or
equipment and fittings of ships due to the upgrading of the requirements for
the carriage of certain substances, the Director may by notice published in
the Gazette modify or delay for a specified period the application of such
amendment to ships constructed before the date of entry into force of the
amendment, if he considers that the immediate application of the amendment is
unreasonable or impracticable. (L.N. 184 of 1995)
