(c) No cargo may be taken in or discharged at Hongkong

(personal effects of the passengers who land or board

at Hongkong excepted.)

(d) For quarantine purposes, the medical officer on

board will sign, and the Captain will further sign,

a guarantee that there is no case of infectious disease

examination by the Hongkong Medical authorities.

board the Government chartered vessel, the Hongkong

Medical authorities may examine all passengers.

Vaccination certificates held by such passengers, however,

will be respected by such authorities as far as possible.

not be demanded, but instead, the Captain will fill in

and sign the attached form which is drawn up in the form

of a guarantee.

(f) No passenger-list will be demanded in respect of

through-passengers who do not wish to land at Hong Kong

but the Captain will give a written document stating the

number of such passengers.

The Captain will hand in a passenger list of

those who propose to land.

(g) No store list will be demanded, but instead, the

Captain will give a guarantee that no stores will be

allowed to leave the vessel.

(h) Entry and clearance of vessel will be duly made by

the proper persons concerned.

(i) Any normal charges will be paid.
