The reason of implementation of the Act was that the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1948 to which Thailand was a party, was repealed and replaced by the COLREG 1972 (the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972).
