Regulation 22C Arrangements for early warning of major accidentsF1

(1)

This regulation applies only in relation to external waters.

for providing early warning of a major accident to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency; and

(b)

for providing more detailed information about such an accident as soon as it becomes available,
