WHEREAS it is enacted by section 223 of the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, that the Minister may from time to time make regulations as to the carriage of deck cargo or live-stock on the deck of a ship, and may prescribe fees :

And whereas regulations for the carriage of deck cargo and live-stock on deck were made by the Minister on the 14th September, 1895, and published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 69, of the 19th day of the same month, which said regulations have been amended at various times :

And whereas it is desirable to make additional regulations :

Now, therefore, I, John Andrew Millar, Minister of Marine, in exercise of the hereinbefore-recited power and authority, do hereby make the following additional regulations as to the carriage of deck cargo and live-stock on deck, and do prescribe the fee mentioned therein, and I do order that these regulations shall come into force on the 1st August, 1910.

REGULATIONS.

1. In every case where deck cargo or live-stock is shipped at a port where there is a Collector of Customs, the master of the ship in which such deck cargo or live-stock is shipped shall notify the Collector of the shipment, and when it will be ready for inspection, and before the ship leaves the port the deck cargo or live-stock shall be inspected by an officer appointed for the purpose by the Collector. If such officer finds that the deck cargo or live-stock exceeds the weight, quantity, or number allowed by the vessel’s deck-cargo license, or is not stowed in accordance with the requirements of the Deck Cargo Regulations, he shall require the master to make such alterations in the weight or quantity of the deck cargo, or the number of the live-stock, or in the stowage as may be necessary to comply with the license and regulations; and if the vessel leaves the port without complying with such requirements the master shall be liable to a fine not exceeding £50.

2. When the officer appointed by the Collector has to make the inspection after his ordinary office hours, the master shall pay to the Collector a fee equal to the amount payable to the officer for overtime.

As witness my hand, at Wellington, this eleventh day of July, one thousand nine hundred and ten.
