In line with the Government’s emphasis on simplifying procedures to promote “ease of doing business”, the Shipping Ministry has decided to weed out thirteen archaic rules under Merchant Shipping Act.
The rules to be rescinded include Merchant Shipping (Distressed Seamen) Rules, 1960; Certificate of Service Rules, 1970; Rates Rules 1970 and Radio Rules, 1983.
Besides, Examination of Masters and Mates Rules, 1968; Examination of Engineer Officers in the Merchant Navy Rules, 1989 and Certificate of Competency Rules, 1989 would also be done away with.
