Extract from a letter from the Managing Agents E. & ▲. 3.5. Co. Ltd. Brisbane dated 2/9/24 to Hongtong Agency.

Suways under Australian Navigation Act 1912/1920.

We have been considering on one or two occasions the effecting of repairs at Hongkong so as to conform with Navigation Act requirements on this side, but have found that the Department of Navigation here will not accept Passenger Certificate issued at Hongrong, and were we to carry out the work at yours it would mean re-survey in

Australia.

The position, so far as we can gather, is that Oertificates issued at Hongkong are not accepted by the British Board of Trade, and until they are there is no likelihood of their being accepted by the Australian Authorities. If representations were made by the Authorities at Hongkong, and the British Board of Trade decided to accept Certificates of survey issued at your port, then we are

led to believe that Australia would follow suit, and vessels holding your Certificates would, under the provisions of

Section 204 (2) be exempted from under-going survey in

Australia, as a proclamation has already been issued under which a vessel registered in Hongkong and holding a Load

Line Certificate issued at your port, is exempt from Comply- ing with the Load Line provisions of the Australian Naviga=

tion Act. It would appear from this, therefore, that proper representations made at yours to the Board of Trade would

be successful.

To attach extract from Commonwealth Gazette No. 22

of 3rd April 1924, providing that Surveys in Bengal and

Bombay will be accepted under Navigation lot in respect to passengers steamships belonging to those possessions.

This proclamation refers to Section 188 of the Favigation Aot which deals only with ships holding Certificates issued
