For the majority of such vessels, the standards applied are not those which are under review. A limited number of vessels could be brought into service under these older Regulations.</p><p> </p><p>Any vessels subject to the standards that will be modified by the review will have a two-year phase in period for compliance from the in-force date of the new legislation. This applies equally well to existing vessels or those which are yet to be brought into service.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 04/06/2019 13:45:42 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
