3Modification of orders

3 Modification of orders

  For subsection 343(2) of the Navigation Act 2012, each order mentioned in the title of a Schedule has effect with the modifications of the order mentioned in the Schedule.

Note 1   Marine Orders Part 11 (Substandard ships) is not supported by the Navigation Act 2012 and is not being modified. It therefore ceases to have effect on 1 July 2013. However, a new Marine Order 11 (Living and working conditions on vessels) 2013 commences on 1 July 2013. It combines the material formerly in Marine Orders Part 10 (Medical first aid on ships), Marine Orders Part 14 (Accommodation) and Marine Orders Part 53 (Employment of crews), which also are not being modified and therefore cease to have effect on 1 July 2013.

Note 2   Marine Orders Part 61 (Safe working on board ships) is also not supported by the Navigation Act 2012 and is not being modified. It therefore ceases to have effect on 1 July 2013. The effect of the order is dealt with under the Occupational Health and Safety (Maritime Industry) Act 1993.

Note 3   Provisions of some orders as in force immediately before 1 July 2013 were made under both the Navigation Act 1912 and the Protection of the Sea (Prevention of Pollution from Ships) Act 1983 and are modified by this Order to the extent that they were made under the Navigation Act 1912.  Therefore, from 1 July 2013, the text of those provisions to the extent that they were made under the Navigation Act 1912 (and modified) will differ from the text of the provisions to the extent that they were made under the Protection of the Sea (Prevention of Pollution from Ships) Act 1983.

Note 4   The orders as modified do not constitute compilations for the Legislative Instruments Act 2003. Compilations of the modified orders are available on AMSA’s website at http://www.amsa.gov.au.
