At the Government House, at Wellington, this nineteenth day of September, 1911.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section two hundred and five of the Harbours Act, 1908, it is enacted that the Governor in Council may from time to time make regulations, to be called “General Harbour Regulations,” which shall have force and effect in all ports in New Zealand for, amongst other things, regulating matters relating to the protection of life and property in or on vessels :

And whereas by Order in Council dated the thirty-first day of May, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the eighth day of the following month, general harbour regulations were made for the above-mentioned purpose :

And whereas it is desirable to revoke paragraph (1) of clause 1 of the said regulations :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in exercise of the hereinbefore-recited power and authority, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby revoke paragraph (1) of clause 1 of the said regulations of the thirty-first day of May, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, and doth hereby order and direct that the following paragraph shall be substituted for it, viz. :

(1.) There shall be a fore and aft space of at least eleven feet between the fore or after end of hatch-combings and the nearest cross-beam, or between cross-beams, and, where necessary, sufficient hatch-beams shall be unshipped and moved clear of the hatchways to give such space; provided that in vessels whose hatches are less than eleven feet fore and aft measurement all cross-beams and fore and afters in the hatches shall be unshipped and moved clear of the hatchways. All hatch-beams which are not unshipped must be properly secured to prevent their becoming unshipped should a sling of cargo catch underneath them; provided further that hatch-beams need not be unshipped when coal is being shipped into the hatches in bulk.
