Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes the Merchant Shipping (Liability and Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage) (Transitional Provisions) Order 1996, consequentially on the United Kingdom ceasing to be a party to the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage 1969 (and thus being a party solely to the 1992 Convention of the same title).
