Report on Ordinance No. 9 of 1909.
I have forwarded the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
**An Ordinance further to amend the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, 1899**
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
This Ordinance brings the law of the Colony relating to Merchant Shipping into line with the law of England by incorporating in the Merchant Shipping Ordinance 1899 certain provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act 1906, especially those extending to foreign ships the duties and liabilities at present imposed on British shipping in respect of deck and load line and of life-saving appliances.
Provision is also made for the survey of motor boats not licensed under the Principal Ordinance.
