A special survey is to be deemed to be a survey requiring more than two visits by a Government Surveyor or Surveyors, or a survey in cases in which from age or any other circumstances there are reasonable grounds for doubting the sea- worthiness of the vessel. Where the case requires unusual attention and occupies an unusual amount of the surveyor's time, the higher fee of $30 and upwards will be charged, according to the special circumstances of the case and the number of visits made.

Where a declaration has been granted for a Steam-ship under this Ordinance, the survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts will be made on payment of half the usual fee mentioned above. The fee paid in accordance with the above scale covers the inspection of the lights and fog signals, and the marking of the vessel, made at the time of survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts. It does not, however, apply to, or include, any inspection of lights, fog signals, or marking, made subsequently to such survey.

The fee for survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts, does not cover any survey of a Steam-ship for a Passenger Certificate under this Ordinance, or mea- surement for tonnage, or inspection of crew spaces.

Travelling expenses (if any), and subsistence expenses (if any), due according to the scale authorised by the Governor, will be charged in addition to the fees.
