(1)

Any scheme, contract, document, licence, permission or resolution, prepared, made, granted or approved under the Light Dues Act relating to such functions as are transferred to the Authority under this Act, shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in this Act or in any other written law, continue and be deemed to have been prepared, made, granted or approved, as the case may be, under the corresponding provisions of the Port of Singapore Authority Act (Cap. 173).

(2)

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act any subsidiary legislation made under the Light Dues Act shall remain in force until it has been revoked or replaced by subsidiary legislation issued or made under the Port of Singapore Authority Act but the Authority may, by order published in the Gazette, vary, amend, extend or revoke such subsidiary legislation so remaining in force or any part thereof as it thinks fit.

(3)

All deeds, bonds, agreements, instruments and working arrangements, subsisting immediately prior to the date of commencement of this Act, affecting any of the assets and liabilities vested in the Authority under this Act or any employee of the Board or the Government transferred to the service of the Authority, shall have as full force and effect against or in favour of the Authority, and be enforceable as fully and effectually as if, instead of the Board or the Government or any person acting on behalf of the Board or the Government, the Authority had been named therein or had been a party thereto.

(4)

Any proceeding or cause of action pending or existing immediately prior to the date of commencement of this Act by or against the Board may be continued and enforced by or against the Authority as it might have been by or against the Board had this Act not come into operation.

(5)

In any written law and in any document whatsoever, unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to the Board shall be construed as a reference to the Authority.
