This particular amendment is similar to the others in respect of chemical tankers and tenderings. This one deals, however, with liquefied gas carriage rules. it inserts Chapter 2 to provide enabling provisions for the regulation and survey of Irish gas carriers and the inspection and enforcement of the applicable SOLAS provisions for gas carriers engaged in international voyages. We have no gas carriers on our flag at present. Amendment No. 40 provides section 25 to set out the definitions for the terms used in the chapter.
