THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DECEMBER 21, 1928.
(4) If a foreign ship, originally registered as a British ship, is subsequently brought forward for registry, a fee of $20 only is to be charged if, on comparison, the principal dimensions are found to agree with the original tonnage measurements. If, however, they do not agree and the ship has to be measured throughout, the full fee is to be charged. If the underdeck tonnage is found to agree and other items differ, then, in addition to the $20 fee for check measurement, further fees are to be charged for these items in accordance with the foregoing.
(j) If a ship is being transferred from British to foreign registry, details of the British tonnage calculation may be supplied for the guidance of the foreign Customs Authorities on payment of a fee of $5 per sheet subject to a minimum of $20.
(k) The fee paid in accordance with Scale A covers any number of visits that the Surveyor may find it necessary to make before he is able to complete the measurement for tonnage and grant his certificate to enable a ship to be registered.
It also covers
the inspection of crew spaces and lights and sound signals, if the Surveyor is able to make these inspections at the same time as the measurement for tonnage but not other- wise. For any further visits necessary for the completion of inspection of crew spaces and lights and sound signals, additional fees are to be charged in accordance with Regu- lations 9 and 11 respectively.
(1) The fee for the inspection of minor alterations (e.g., of rig, engines, etc.) is $10.

(d) If the fee has been paid for the survey of an unclassed ship and, for special reasons a partial survey only has been made and a certificate issued for a period not exceeding 12 months, only one-half of the full fee is payable for the completion of the survey for the renewal of the certificate of approval.
(e) When owners or builders submit a design of a new ship and require a provisional assignment of freeboard the fee prescribed above should be paid according to whether the ship is to be classed or unclassed.
