INTERNATIONAL PROVISIONS OF THE
MERCHANT SHIPPING ACTS
WHICH HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES BY ORDER IN COUNCIL.
but
The following sections of the Merchant Shipping Acts are not necessarily directly applicable to Hongkong; they have an important bearing on the law of the Colony, because the Merchant Shipping Ordinance in many cases contains provisions corresponding to the sections of the Merchant Shipping Act set out in this Part. These provisions, for example, s. 9 (1) (b) as to arrest of deserters from foreign ships, refer to the countries to which an Order in Council has, under the Home Act, applied the corresponding section of that Act. The Tables of foreign countries in such cases become, therefore, the Tables of countries to which the provisions of the Ordinance apply. A reference is in each case given in the margin to the corresponding provisions of the Colonial Ordinance. The Orders in Council vary in each case and must be referred to whenever occasion arises; those issued before 1893 are to be found in the "Statutory Rules and Order", Vol. 8, and those issued subsequently, in the annual volumes of that publication. A typical example of the Orders in Council is, however, given under each heading.
The references and the recitals in the majority of the Orders in Council are to the old Merchant Shipping Acts, which were consolidated and replaced by the Act of 1894 (57 & 58 Vict. c. 60). It has not been thought necessary to indicate the new provision in each case, it being understood that the present reference is to the section of the existing Act which is printed at the commencement of each division.
A

M. S. Act, 1894, s. 84, as amended by M. S. Act, 1906, s. 55.
