<p>Earlier this year my officials progressed a Statutory Instrument through Parliament
which ensures that the UK’s existing regulatory regime for ship and port security
will continue to function effectively after EU Exit.</p><p> </p><p>The Statutory Instrument
will enter into force on the day on which the UK leaves the EU. This Statutory Instrument
includes provisions which enable the Government to continue to issue pre-arrival notification
(PAN) exemptions to operators of vessels travelling on scheduled services from the
EU into the UK after our withdrawal from the EU, even in a no deal scenario.</p><p>
</p><p>Vessels travelling from the UK into the EU following the UK’s withdrawal from
the EU will need to provide the necessary pre-arrival security information for scheduled
routes. Government has communicated widely with operators and has provided advice
to them about the change. This was done in the form of a technical notice which can
be found here;</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/getting-an-exemption-from-maritime-security-notifications-if-theres-no-brexit-deal/getting-an-exemption-from-maritime-security-notifications-if-theres-no-brexit-deal"
