Explanatory Memorandum.
The main object of this Bill is to amend the principal Ordinance by deleting references to the Government Gunpowder Depot, which is at present under the control of the Director of Marine. This follows the proposed amendment of the Dangerous Goods Ordinance (Chapter 295) to provide for the establishment of Government Explosives Depots under the control and manage- ment of the Commissioner of Mines. Under that Ordinance, however, the Director of Marine will retain control of the survey- ing, movement, siting and mooring of any ship which is designated
as an Explosives Depot. These amendments are contained in clauses 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
2. Section 69(3) of the principal Ordinance, which deals with signals for police assistance aboard vessels, is amended by clause 3 to accord with a recent revision of the International Code of Signals. Section 78(4) of the principal Ordinance, which deals with the powers of police officers in respect of vessels which have been lawfully required to stop, is amended by clause 4 to conform with the revised Code.

一九七一年商船(修訂)法案
摘要說明
本法案之主要目的在將原有條例修訂,此即將凡有提及政府彈藥庫之處 刪去, 按該彈藥庫現時係由海事處長所管理。此項修訂係由於現擬將危險品條例 (即香港法例第二九五章)修訂以便設立政府炸藥庫之議而引起者。該等炸藥庫將 由鑛務處長控制及管理,但根據該條例之規定,海事處長對凡經指定爲炸藥庫之船 隻之檢驗、移動、停留位置及定泊等有關事宜仍保有其管制之權力。此等修訂事項 分別載於第二、第五、第六、第七、第八、第九及第十各款內。
二、 原有條例第六十九款第(三)段係關於請求警務人員登船協助之訊號者。 本法案第三款現將該段修訂以便該等訊號與最近訂正之國際訊號法趨於一致。原有 條例第七十八款第(四)段係關於警務人員對依法截停之船隻所應具有之權力。法 案第四款現將該項規定修訂,使符合該訂正訊號法之規定。
