Mark Durkan – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mark Durkan on 2016-04-25.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward legislative proposals on the Port and Marine Safety Code.

Mr Robert Goodwill

There are no plans to make the Port Marine Safety Code mandatory. The non-statutory status of the Code is vital to its success, enabling port operators to apply industry-agreed good practice flexibly in ways most appropriate to the size and operations of their facility.
