In line with the government´s emphasis on simplifying procedures to promote -ôease of doing business´, the Shipping Ministry has decided to weed out thirteen archaic rules under Merchant Shipping Act.
This in turn will declutter the legislative framework governing merchant shipping sector in India and streamline the processes and procedures in the shipping sector. ´The Ministry of Shipping has decided to rescind thirteen rules under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 (as amended), having found them to be obsolete and unnecessary,´ an official statement said.
The rules to be rescinded include Merchant Shipping (Distressed Seamen) Rules, 1960; Certificate of Service Rules, 1970; Rates Rules 1970 and Radio Rules, 1983.
