By cancelling these rules, the government either moved seamen rating standards into other legislation (such as the main Navigation Act or newer maritime safety laws) or updated the classification system entirely. This is a \"housekeeping\" measure to remove outdated maritime employment rules."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/navigation-rating-of-seamen-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/navigation-rating-of-seamen-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/navigation-rating-of-seamen-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/navigation-rating-of-seamen-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/navigation-rating-of-seamen-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/navigation-rating-of-seamen-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
