The above scale is for twelve months. For six months six-twelfths of the fee will be charged, for nine months nine-twelfths, and so on, at the rate of one-twelfth for each month; but no fee is to be less in amount than three-twelfths. In all cases of new steam ships, or of steam ships coming under survey for a passenger's Certificate for the first time a full twelvemonth's fee must be paid, notwithstanding that a certificate for twelve months may not be required, and in no case of an incomplete declaration will less than three-twelfths be charged.
The fee paid in accordance with the forgoing scale covers any number of visits that a Surveyor may require to make before he is able to grant his declaration, as well as the inspection of the lights and fog signals, and of the marking of the vessel, which inspection must be made by the Surveyor before he can grant his declaration. The fee does not, however, apply to, or include, any inspection of lights, fog sighals, or marking made subsequently to the granting of the declaration.
The above fee does not cover any service under the Chinese Pas- sengers' Acts, or measurement for tonnage.

A special survey is to be deemed to be a survey requiring more than two visits by a Government Surveyor or Surveyors, or a survey in cases in which from age or any other circumstances there are reasonable grounds for doubting the seaworthiness of the vessel. Where the case requires unusual attention and occupies an unusual amount of the surveyor's time the higher fee of $30, and upwards will be charged, according to the special circumstances of the case and the number of visits made.
Where a declaration has been granted for a steam-ship under this Ordinance, the survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts will be made on payment of half the usual fee mentioned above. The fee paid in accordance with the above scale covers the inspection of the lights and fog signals, and the marking of the vessel, made at the time of survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts. It does not, however, apply to, or include, any inspection of lights, fog signals, or marking, made subsequently to such survey.
The fee for survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts does not cover any survey of a steam-ship for a passenger certificate under this Ordinance, or measurement for tonnage, or inspection of crew spaces.
Travelling expenses (if any) and subsistence expenses (if any) due according to the scale authorised by the Governor will be charged in addition to the fees.
