ORDER IN COUNCIL EXEMPTING NETHERLANDS SHIPS, COMPLYING

WITH NETHERLANDS REGULATIONS, FROM DETENTION FOR NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACTS AS TO OVERLOADING.

AT THE COURT AT ST. JAMES'S,

THE 11TH DAY OF JUNE, 1910.

PRESENT,

THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

WH

HEREAS by Section 445 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, it is enacted that where the Board of Trade certify that the laws and regulations for the time being in force in any foreign country and relating to overloading and improper loading are equally effective with the provisions of that Act relating thereto, His Majesty in Council may direct that on proof of a ship of that country having complied with those laws and regulations, she shall not, when in a port of the United Kingdom, be liable to detention for non-compliance with the said provisions of that Act, nor shall there arise any liability to any fine or penalty which would otherwise arise for non-compliance with those provisions:

And whereas by Section 1 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1906, provision, as is more particularly therein mentioned, is made for applying to foreign ships when in ports in the United Kingdom certain sections of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, which relate to loadline, without prejudice to any direction of His Majesty in Council given under the said Section 415 of the last-mentioned Act:

And whereas the Board of Trade have certified that certain statutory regulations which have been approved by the Government of the Netherlands relating to overloading, so far as regards the assignment of loadlines to ships belonging to the Netherlands on and after the 1st January, 1909, are equally effective with the corresponding regulations in force in this country respecting the assignment of loadlines to British merchant ships:

Now therefore, His Majesty in Council doth direct that on proof that ships belonging to the Netherlands have complied with the aforesaid regulations of the Government of the Netherlands such ships shall not, when in ports of the United Kingdom, be liable to detention. for non-compliance with the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts relating to over- loading, nor shall there arise any liability to any fine or penalty which would otherwise arise for non-compliance with those provisions.
