TONNAGE MEASUREMENT AND CREW ACCOMMODATION
The crew accommodation has to comply with the Merchant Shipping (Crew Accommodation) Regulations 1953 as amended. The application of these requirements as set out in the Director of Marine's letter is gener- ally acceptable. The ILO Maritime Conference held in Geneva in October 1970 had crew accommodation on its agenda and produced a supplementary Convention which raised certain of the existing inter- national standards.

RADIO EQUIPMENT
:
The requirements in this respect are laid down by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sou 1960 and would have to be met in any country which is party to the Convention. The standards set in the United Kingdom Radio Rules are somewhat more demanding, and they apply only to ships registered in the UK. As long as the ships conform to Convetion standards we would have no objections.
