This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Maritime Transport (Offshore Installations) Amendment Bill to insert a power to make certain transitional provisions in marine protection rules made under the Maritime Transport Act 1994 for the purpose of implementing the Bill. The Bill provides the power to make marine protection rules relating to the types of liability and the amount for which insurance or other financial security must be held by regulated offshore installations (see clause 6). In order to provide for the transition to any new requirements that may be provided for in those rules, it may be desirable for the rules to provide that any certificate of insurance in force at the time new rules commence expires earlier than the expiry date specified when the certificate was issued.
