For the survey of a lifeboat undergoing heavy repairs involving re-certification the same fee is to be charged.

These fees cover the issue to the applicant of a report of inspection of the boats only and, in the case of a passenger ship, are in addition to the fee for survey for a passenger certificate. If the boats are supplied to a cargo ship and a subsequent inspection of the whole of the life- saving appliances is made under paragraph (a) only the balance of the fees under that paragraph is to be charged.

(f) On application being made for survey during con- struction at the makers works, and certification, of a buoyant apparatus intended to form part of the life-saving appliances of a passenger ship a fee of $3 per unit with a minimum fee of $30 is to be charged.
