# The Merchant Shipping (Fees) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1987, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations replace the Merchant Shipping (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 1987 which were made without the consent and approval of the Treasury. Those Regulations amended the Merchant Shipping (Fees) Regulations 1987. The main amendments were to increase the fees payable in respect of the registration of ships by approximately 3.6%, and to include further regulations for services in respect of which hourly fees are payable, in particular the regulations made to implement the coming into force of Annex II (Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk) to the Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of Ships 1973 (MARPOL).
These Regulations also amend the principal Fee Regulations referred to, to provide that if a fee is for, or covers, a certificate, the certificate need not be issued or endorsed unless the fee is paid.
