(3) Despite the repeal of the relevant sections by the Marine Safety Act 1994 , anything done or authorised under a relevant section and in force immediately before this section commenced, continues to be as effective as it would be if the relevant section had not been repealed, but had continued in force subject to the changes in the Schedule. ˙ Grounds for suspension, cancellation or refusal to renew approval 5.

s6 5 s6 Marine Safety (Transitional) Regulation 1994 (b) states the grounds for proposing to take the action; and (c) outlines the facts and circumstances that form the basis for the chief executive’s belief; and (d) if the chief executive proposes to suspend the approval—states the proposed suspension term; and (e) invites the holder to show cause within the specified time, of not less than 28 days, why the action proposed should not be taken. (2) If, after considering all representations made within the specified time, the chief executive still believes that grounds to take the action exist, the chief executive may— (a) if the show cause notice was a notice of intention to suspend the approval for a specified term—suspend the approval for a term not longer than the specified term; or (b) if the show cause notice was a notice of intention to cancel the approval— (i) cancel the approval; or (ii) suspend the approval for a term; or (c) if the show cause notice was a notice of intention not to renew the approval— (i) refuse to renew the approval; or (ii) refuse to renew the approval for a term.

(3) The action takes effect on the later of the following— (a) the day on which the notice is given; or (b) the day specified in the notice. (4) The procedure under section 6 for cancelling, suspending or refusing to renew an approval is separate from the procedure for suspending or amending an approval under this section. ˙ Term of suspension or amendment under s 7 8.(1) A suspension or amendment under section 7 must not be longer than 6 months.

(3) If a show cause notice under section 6(1) has been given to the holder of the approval before the end of 7 days after the Board has given the Minister its report, the suspension or amendment of the approval under section 7 continues until the chief executive informs the holder of the approval of the chief executive’s decision about the show cause notice under section 6(3). (4) If a relevant board of inquiry has not been established within 14 days after the chief executive has considered the inspector’s report about the incident, a suspension or amendment of the approval under section 7 ends and the chief executive must promptly notify the holder of the approval accordingly. (5) In this section— “relevant board of inquiry” means a board of inquiry established under section 131 (Minister may establish or re-establish boards of inquiry) of the Act about the marine incident that is the basis of the chief executive’s suspension or amendment of an approval under section 7. ˙ Return of suspended, amended or cancelled approval 9.(1) If the chief executive cancels, suspends or amends a person’s approval under section 6 or 7, the chief executive may give the person a written notice requiring the person to return the approval as specified within a specified period, of not less than 14 days.
