  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations revoke and re-enact that part of regulation 14 (additional crew) of the Merchant Shipping (Local Passenger Vessels) (Masters’ Licences and Hours, Manning and Training) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/1213, the “1993 Regulations”) as relates to the qualifications to be held by members of the crew of passenger ships operating on inland waterways and on some short coastal voyages. The remaining provisions of regulation 14 have been superseded by the provisions in the Merchant Shipping (Survey and Certification) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/1210) relating to passenger certificates for such vessels. The Regulations also make transitional provision for approvals given under the 1993 Regulations and re-enact regulation 16 of those Regulations (power to detain) for the purpose of enforcement.\nThe greater part of the 1993 Regulations is being contemporaneously revoked and replaced by the Merchant Shipping (Inland Waterway and Limited Coastal Operations) (Boatmasters’ Qualifications and Hours of Work) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/3223). The provisions of regulation 14 re-enacted in these Regulations have been modified to take account of those Regulations.\nNo Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in connection with these Regulations as they are not considered to have any impact on the costs or savings of business or the voluntary or public sectors.",
