Marking of deck-line and Load Lines

4. (1) No British or Malayan ship registered in the Federation, being a ship constructed after the 30th day of June, 1932, shall proceed to sea unless -

(c) the load lines are either in the position required by provision (e) of the last fore- going sub-paragraph or in the position required by the tables used by the Board of Trade on the 31st day of December, 1906, for fixing the positions of load lines, subject to such modification of these tables and of the application thereof, approved by the Board of Trade under section four hundred and thirty-eight of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, as were in force immediately before the 5th day of July, 1930.

(2) If any such ship is loaded in contravention of this paragraph, the owner or master of the ship shall for each offence be liable to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars and to such additional fine, not exceeding the amount hereinafter specified, as the Court thinks fit to impose having regard to the extent to which the earning capacity of the ship was, or would have been, increased by reason of the submersion.

(3) The said additional fine shall not exceed one thousand dollars for every inch or fraction of an inch by which the appropriate load line on each side of the ship was submerged, or would have been submerged if the ship had been in salt water and had no list.

(4) In any proceedings against an owner or master in respect of a contravention of this paragraph, it shall be a good defence to prove that the contravention was due solely to deviation or delay, being deviation or delay caused solely by stress of weather or other circumstances which neither the master nor the owner nor the charterer (if any) could have prevented or forestalled.

1. When a ship previously measured under Rule II is remeasured under Rule I, the full fee in scale (a) is chargeable, without any deduction for measurement under Rule II.

2. The fees for remeasurement in consequence of alterations on the upper deck or in the engine room or under sections 77 (4), 78 (2), 79 (1), and 80 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, or section 54 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1906, are shown in column (c) above. The maximum fee in respect of each item is $145. The fee for measurement under section 79 (1) (a) (i) includes the inspection of crew spaces if made at the same as the measurement.

The fee for measurement under section 81, Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, and in all other cases where, in consequence of alterations, remeasurement of the under deck tonnage is found necessary is that stated in column (a) above.

3. In the case of foreign ships applying for the renewal of their certificates of British Tonnage, the principal dimensions are to be retired, and, if they are found to agree with the certificate, a fee of $70 only will be charged for the issue of the new certificate. If the dimensions do not practically agree with the certificate of tonnage, the ship must be remeasured throughout under Rule I or II, as the case may be, and the proper fees must be charged.

4. In cases of application for the issue or amendment of a "Suez Canal" or "Panama Canal" Special Tonnage Tonnage Certificate, a fee of two-fifths of the full tonnage fee is to be charged for each certificate whether the measurement is made at the same time as the measurement for British registry or not. This fee includes remeasurement of British tonnage (except under deck) if made at the same time. Certified copies of Suez Canal or Panama Canal certificates are issued on payment of $15 each.

Where the alteration is of a minor character, it shall be lawful for the Surveyor-General of Ships upon application made in that behalf to direct refundment of part of the fee paid.

5. In the case of a foreign ship originally registered as a British ship, and subsequently seeking reregistry, a fee of $60 only is to be charged if, on comparison, the principal dimensions are found to agree with the original tonnage formula of the ship. But if they do not agree and the ship has to be measured throughout, a full tonnage fee is payable. If the under deck tonnage is found to agree and the other items differ, then, in addition to the $60 fee for check measurement, further fees are chargeable for these inspections in accordance with the fore-going regulations.

6. In cases where a ship is being transferred from the British register to that of a foreign country, details of the British tonnage calculations may be supplied for the guidance of the foreign Customs Authorities on payment of a fee of $15 per sheet with a minimum fee of $60.

7. In cases where it is desired by the owner of a ship details of the tonnage calculations may be supplied to him on payment of a fee of $15 per sheet with a minimum of $60.

8. The fee paid in accordance with scale (a) covers any number of visits that the Surveyor may find it necessary to make before he is able to fill up the formula of tonnage and grant his certificate to enable a ship to obtain registry. It also covers the inspection of crew spaces and lights and sound signals, if the Surveyor is able to make these inspections on the occasion on which the measurement is performed, but not otherwise. For any further visits necessary for the completion of inspection of crew spaces and lights and sound signals, further fees in accordance with the law will be charged.

9. The fee for the inspection of minor alterations (e.g., of rig, engines, etc.) is $10.
 

1. The fee for each visit to the ship shall not exceed thirty-five dollars.

2. The aggregate amount of the fees for any such inspection shall not exceed sixty dollars, whatever be the number of separate visits.

3. When the accommodation is inspected at the same time with the measurement of the tonnage, no separate fee shall be charged for the inspection.
