Regulation for ascertaining Tonnage of Ships, under Section 3 of “The Shipping and Seamen’s Act Amendment Act, 1899.”

WHEREAS it is enacted by subsection (5) of section 3 of “The Shipping and Seamen’s Act Amendment Act, 1899,” that the Minister may from time to time make such regulations as he thinks fit for, amongst other things, defining the manner in which the tonnage of ships shall be ascertained for the purposes of the said section: And whereas it is desirable to make the following regulation:

Now, therefore, I, William Hall-Jones, the Minister having Charge of the Marine Department, do hereby make the following regulation, defining the manner in which the tonnage of ships shall be ascertained for the purposes of the said section.

REGULATION.

The tonnage of ships for the purposes of section 3 of “The Shipping and Seamen’s Act Amendment Act, 1899,” shall be ascertained in the following manner: viz., Measure the length and breadth outside from the inside of the stem to the outside of the sternpost, and the depth inside. Multiply them together and by 0·6, and divide the product by 100. The quotient obtained, added to the product of the measurement of the break, poop, or other closed-in space on the deck, if any, shall be deemed to be the gross tonnage of the ship. From the gross tonnage deduct 25 per cent. thereof for engine-space, and the result shall be deemed to be the register tonnage of the ship.

If there be a break, a poop, or other closed-in space, multiply the mean length, breadth, and depth, and divide the product by 100, and add the quotient obtained to the gross register tonnage.

For ships with raking stem and stern the length shall be taken from the after side of the sternpost on a line with the rabbet of the keel to a plumb line from the fore part of the stem on a line with the gunwale or deck.

Given under my hand, this 10th day of January, 1900.
