14 are now in practice enforced for foreign-going passenger
ships. 2 and 3 are not yet in force as revised edition of
instructions as to the survey of passenger steamships has
not yet been received from the Board of Trade but on arrival
will be brought into force for all foreign-going passenger
ships.
Requested that 12 copies may be obtained and
forwarded as soon as possible.
It is proposed to enforce
all Board of Trade regulations including fire extinguishing
appliances for new Hong Kong foreign-going passenger
certificates as from the 1st January, 1928, and in order to
give due warning to builders of new ships and owners of
existing ships necessary regulations are now being brought
before the Executive Council and I will inform you by cable
as soon as such regulations have been passed. I would
request that on receipt of such cable an Order in Council
may be passed immediately having effect as from the 1st
January, 1928. Your telegram of 21st October, 1926, present certificates of the Changte and Taiping expire respectively
October and December when they will be surveyed by Wilton
and Hall and provided full Board of Trade requirements are complied with I would request that arrangements be made with Australia for recognition of such survey until Order
in Council comes into force when certificates then issued
