S.I. No. 192 of 2026.

MARITIME AREA PLANNING (EMERGENCY WORKS)

REGULATIONS 2026

These Regulations specify relevant works to which section 98 of the

Maritime Area Planning Act 2021 applies. Section 98 is intended to

ensure that works required in an emergency situation are not hindered

by the requirement to seek a Maritime Area Consent (MAC) before

the works can take place.

While regulations are not compulsory under the section, the Minister

has chosen to make regulations in relation to the application of section

98 to underwater cables to provide clarity to cable operators. Section

98 is also being made applicable to emergency works required to port

infrastructure.

Regulation 1 is a standard citation provision.

Regulation 2 specifies that section 98 shall apply to (i) emergency

works required to underwater telecommunications and energy cables,

where there is a risk to security, connectivity, or energy supply if the

required works are not carried out as a matter of urgency; and (ii)

emergency works to listed port infrastructure where there is a threat

to life or property. Any such works must be finite and ascertainable,

and the work done must be the minimum required to remove the risk.

Regulation 3 clarifies the meaning of “relevant person” in section 98.

Regulation 4 provides for the owner or operator of the cable in

question to notify MARA within five days o f the works having been

carried out. This is in or der to ensure that MARA retains

comprehensive information on activities taking place in the St ate’s

maritime area.
