Awards in relation to permit ships

         (1)   This regulation applies if:

               (b)    the Commission made or varied an award in response to the application before the reform commencement.

         (2)   On and from the reform commencement:

                (a)    the award ceases to have effect to the extent to which it applies to:

                          (i)    non‑citizen crew members who are operating on permit ships; and

                         (ii)    foreign corporations in their capacity as employers of non‑citizen crew members who are operating on permit ships; and

               (b)    the cessation of the award is taken not to affect:

                          (i)    any right of a person as immediately before the reform commencement; or

                         (ii)    any liability imposed on a person in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before the reform commencement.
