Special Licenses, Class A.

3. Special licenses of this class will be granted to foreign-going steamships carrying cargo with live-stock on deck, also coal on deck for ship’s use, if approved of by the Superintendent.

4. For the purpose of ascertaining the number or quantity of live-stock (horses, bullocks, cows, sheep) a foreign-going steamship with these licenses will be allowed to carry on deck, it will be necessary to assume or reckon that each horse, bullock, or cow weighs 1 ton, and for the purpose of calculation three sheep shall be considered equal to one horse, bullock, or cow.

5. Foreign-going steamships with these licenses will be allowed to carry any number not exceeding six horses, bullocks, or cows to every 100 tons net register of the ship, and three sheep shall be considered equal to one horse, bullock, or cow. Proportionate allowance will be made for small live-stock.

6. Having converted the live-stock into weight, combine their weight with the weight of the quantity of coal on deck, and these two quantities combined are not to exceed 6 per cent. of the net register tonnage of the said ship.

7. Foreign-going steamships with these licenses, having live-stock on board as deck cargo, will only be allowed to carry such quantity of coal on deck for ship’s use as, with the weight of the live-stock on deck, does not exceed 6 per cent. of the net register tonnage of the ship. The coal carried on deck is to be stowed in bags.

Special Licenses, Class B, for carrying Live-stock on Deck; also Coal on Deck for Ship’s Use.

8. Foreign-going steamships will require licenses of this class for carrying a greater quantity of live-stock as deck cargo, and coal on deck for ship’s use, than allowed in the special license, Class A, which will necessitate the said steamship being surveyed or inspected by a Surveyor approved of by the Superintendent; and a certificate as to the ship’s stability and seaworthiness must be obtained from such Surveyor, the owner paying the Surveyor’s fee.

9. The Surveyor’s certificate must distinctly state the extra quantity of live-stock and coal for which the certificate is issued, and is to be indorsed by the master, owner, or agent; and on no account will a license of this class be granted for additional quantity of live-stock and coal on deck of a foreign-going steamship where the total amount on deck exceeds 8 per cent. of the net register tonnage of the said steamship.

DIVISION B, CLASS IV. — FOREIGN-GOING SAILING-SHIPS WITH OR WITHOUT PASSENGERS.

Special licenses of Class A and Class B will be issued for these ships, subject to the same rules and on the same conditions as licenses of these classes are granted for intercolonial and home-trade sailing-ships.
