Consultation on proposed amendments to the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 (an Act of Parliament) as it is applied to the Island. The main amendments are to the sections of the Act which implement the Convention on Limitation of Maritime Claims 1976 as amended by the 1996 Protocol (LLMC). There are two main proposals - to implement the new higher limits of liability under LLMC which came into effect internationally on 8 June 2015 and to exclude shipowners right to limit liability under LLMC for wreck removal.
