It is proposed to enact that a junk shall be deemed to be in default in a case of collision either inside or outside the territorial waters if it has not carried lights in accordance with the International Collision Regulations or with Section 3 of the Merchant Shipping Amendment Ordinance 1904. But as the Section of the 1904 Ordinance only specifies the lights to be carried within the waters of the Colony, the Draft Ordinance does not appear to give junks the option of carrying white lights at stem and stern (in place of the side lights required by the International Regulations) outside those waters.

I am also to point out that the option apparently given in Section 4 of the Draft Ordinance to junks within territorial waters of securing themselves from disability by compliance with the International Rules, seems hardly consistent with the proposed repeal of Section 13 of the Ordinance of 1903.

deemed to be in default in a case of collision either

inside or outside the territorial waters if it has not

Regulations or with Section 3 of the Merchant Shipping

Amendment Ordinance 1904. But as the Section of the 1904

Ordinance only specifies the lights to be carried within

the waters of the Colony, the Draft Ordinance does not

appear to give junks the option of carrying white lights

at stem and stern (in place of the side lights required

by the International Regulations) outside those waters.
