Original consultation
Consultation description
The proposed regulations will simplify processes for industry by assimilating the 2016 Regulations, and two 2019 amending SIs, into a single statutory instrument and add clarity.
It will also ensure that Ballast Water Manager Management Systems are not treated differently to other items of marine equipment and will ensure that that the process for getting a Ballast Water Management System approved by the UK is clear and in line with that for getting UK approval for other items of marine equipment.
Revoking and replacing these three regulations with one new SI will simplify the regulations for industry.
