General or urgent directions under sections 21 to 24

(2)    If it appears to [the Committee] that an exception from any direction given under any of those sections is required as a matter of urgency in any particular case [the Committee] may, by a notification given (otherwise than in writing) to the person for the time being subject to the direction, authorise that person to disregard the requirements of the direction –

(b)     are excessively onerous or inconvenient and should be modified in a manner specified in the notice.

(3)    Where the person to whom such a direction is given serves a notice under subsection (2) above objecting to the direction, the [Committee] shall consider the grounds of the objection and, if so required by the objector, shall afford to him an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by the [Committee] for the purpose, and shall then serve on the objector a notice in writing either –

(a)     confirming the direction as originally given; or

(b)     confirming it subject to one or more modifications specified in the notice under this subsection; or

(b)     is framed in general terms applicable to all the persons to whom those directions are given.

(3)    If an enforcement notice is served under this section on the owner, charterer or manager of a ship, then (whether or not that service is effected by virtue of section 45(8) of this Act) an authorised person may serve on the master of the ship –

(a)     a copy of the enforcement notice and of the direction to which it relates; and

Contents of enforcement notice

30.-(1) An enforcement notice may specify in greater detail measures which are described in general terms in those provisions of the direction to which it relates which impose general requirements, but may not impose any requirement which could not have been imposed by a direction given by the [Committee] under the provision under which the direction was given.
