Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends and revokes legislation which has been applied to the Falkland Islands through Orders in Council. The Order is being made because the Falkland Islands Government are bringing into force new legislation, the Falkland Islands Maritime Ordinance 2017 (“Maritime Ordinance”), to replace the provisions being revoked in article 3. The amendments being made by the provisions in the Schedule will ensure that the existing legislation will continue to apply to South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The Order will come into force at the same time as the Maritime Ordinance.
The Maritime Ordinance can be accessed on the Falkland Islands Statute Law Database at https://www.legislation.gov.fk or on request from the Maritime & Coastguard Agency of Spring Place, 105 Commercial Road, Southampton SO15 1EG.
