12  Criteria for deciding applications
(1) In deciding an application made under item 10, section 15 of the new law applies as if subsection 15(2) were not there.
(2) Instead, in deciding such an application, the Minister may have regard to the following:
 (a) whether the owner of the vessel intends to register it under the Shipping Registration Act 1981 but is unable to do so immediately because of commercial obligations or requirements under a foreign law;
 (b) whether the applicant held a licence or permit under the old law that was cancelled;
 (c) any other matters the Minister thinks relevant.
