Abstract

These Regulations, made by the Minister by sections 25 and 32(6) of the Merchant Shipping Act 2002, implement provisions of that Act regarding a wide variety of matters including, among other things, requirements and proceedings for registration of ships in Bermuda and mortgages on ships. Notwithstanding that a ship is otherwise entitled to be registered, the Registrar may refuse to register it if, taking into account any requirements of the Act (including any instrument made under it) relating to the condition of the ship or its equipment so far as relevant to its safety or to any risk of pollution or to the safety, health and welfare of persons employed or engaged in any capacity on board the ship, he considers that it would be inappropriate for the ship to be registered. The Registrar may, subject to regulation 74 terminate a ship’s registration or close the registration of a ship chartered on demise charter for environmental considerations.
