These regulations relate to the maritime and rail sectors, operating to ensure they run safely and effectively. The maritime and rail transportation systems are a key part of the UK’s transport network, and we need effective regulation to allow them to operate to their full potential. This Red Tape Challenge theme will look at over 400 regulations in the maritime and rail sector, and covers a broad range of rules – from those concerning fares and licensing in the rail industry, through to those aimed at protecting the marine environment.
To help you find the regulations that affect you, we’ve split the theme comment pages into the two sectors. Please follow the links below in order to access the maritime and rail pages and join the debate. You can also find out about our theme sector champions in the link below.
