3  Licences to continue in force
(1) If, immediately before commencement, a licence granted under the coasting trade regulations was in force, the licence remains in force for the period:
 (a) beginning on commencement; and
 (b) ending on:
 (i) the day that is 4 months after the new law commences; or
 (ii) if the Minister decides to cancel the licence—the day the licence is cancelled under the old law despite its repeal by Schedule 1 to this Act;
  whichever occurs first.
(2) To avoid doubt:
 (a) section 7 of the Navigation Act 1912 and the old law continue to apply in respect of a licence continued in force by subitem (1), despite their repeal by Schedule 1 to this Act; and
 (b) section 10 of the Navigation Act 1912 continues to apply in respect of a licence continued in force by subitem (1), despite its amendment by Schedule 1 to this Act; and
 (c) the coasting trade regulations continue to apply in respect of a licence continued in force by subitem (1), despite the repeal of the old law by Schedule 1 to this Act.
(3) Despite subitem (2), sections 31, 32 and 77 of the new law apply in relation to a licence continued in force by subitem (1) as if it were a general licence.
