46. The requirements as to life saving appliances specified under the heading Group I. Class 9 shall be complied with by all ships engaged in the carriage of un- berthed passengers (pilgrim) on international voyages to or from the countries of Ceylon, Hong Kong, India, the Nether- lands East Indies and the Straits Settlements, from or to ports in the Red Sea.
47. DAVITS:---A pilgrim ship which carries more than 12 berthed passengers shall be provided with sets of davits in accordance with its length as specified in Column (A) of Table No. 13.
A pilgrim ship which does not carry berthed passengers or which carries 12 berthed passengers or less shall be pro- vided with sets of davits in accordance with its length as specified in Column (C) of Table No. 13.
When, in the opinion of the Government Marine Sur- veyor, it is neither practicable nor reasonable to place on a pilgrim ship carrying more than 12 berthed passengers the number of sets of davits required by Column (A) of Table No. 13, the Government Marine Surveyor may authorise, under exceptional conditions, a smaller number of sets of davits, provided always that this number shall never be less than the minimum fixed by Column (B) of the Table, and that the total capacity of the boats on the ship shall be at least up to the minimum capacity required by Column (F).
