Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations apply the requirements of the Merchant Shipping (Passenger Boarding Cards) Regulations 1988 to non-United Kingdom passenger ships operating as passenger ships of Classes II and II(A) in respect of voyages departing from United Kingdom ports. (Those Regulations require the operation of a boarding card system for all voyages on which passengers are carried.)

There is an exemption for non-United Kingdom ships which come into a port in the United Kingdom only because of stress of weather or for similar reasons.
