(This note is not part of the Order)

The Merchant Shipping (Fishing Boats Registry) (Amendment) Order 1987 (S.I. 1987/1284) provided that in a number of cases the Registrar for a port of registry might be an officer stationed somewhere other than at that port, but did not alter the requirement that the register be kept at the port of registry. This Order substitutes for that a requirement that a register be kept in respect of each port of registry but not necessarily at that port.
