And whereas it appears to His Majesty that the tonnage regulations of the said Act have been adopted by the Government of Greece and are now in force in that country:

Now, therefore, His Majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:—

Greek ships the certificates of registry or other national papers of which are dated on or after the fourteenth July, nineteen hundred and nine (old style first July, nineteen hundred and nine) shall without being remeasured in His Majesty’s Dominions be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such certificates of registry or other national papers in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes as the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of a British ship is deemed to be the tonnage of that ship.

3. The Order in Council, dated the fourteenth day of August, eighteen hundred and seventy-nine, made under the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862, with regard to the tonnage of ships of Greece is hereby revoked.
