At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 8th day of August, 1932.

Present:

THE KING’S MOST EXCELLENCY MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

Whereas by treaty, capitulation, grant, usage, sufferance, or other lawful means, His Majesty the King has jurisdiction in Egypt;

And whereas provision is made by the Egypt Order in Council, 1930 (S.R. & O. 1930 (No. 744), p. 539) (in this Order referred to as “the Principal Order”) for the exercise of such jurisdiction:

And whereas it is desirable to make provision for the levying of certain light dues on British ships on voyages through the Red Sea:

Now, therefore, His Majesty, by virtue and in exercise of the powers in this behalf by the Foreign Jurisdiction Acts, 1890 and 1913 (53 & 54 Vict. c. 37 and 3 & 4 Geo. V, c. 16), or otherwise in His Majesty vested, is pleased, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:—

1. This Order may be cited as the Egypt (Red Sea Light Dues) Order in Council, 1932, and shall be read as one with the Principal Order and with any Order amending the latter.

2. On and after the coming into force of this Order light dues at the rate of one-sixteenth of one penny per Suez Canal net register ton shall be paid in respect of all British ships passing through the Suez Canal after or before a voyage through the Red Sea in which the vessel crosses the parallel of 16° north latitude, other than ships belonging to His Majesty not carrying cargo or passengers for freight or fares.

3. The said dues shall be collected by His Majesty’s Consular Officers in Egypt.

4. The following persons shall be liable to pay the said dues for any ship in respect of which such dues are payable, namely:—

(a) The owner or master; or

(b) Such agents thereof as have paid or made themselves liable to pay any other dues or charge on account of the ship in the ports in Egypt, at which the vessel calls.

5. Any agent (not being the owner or master of the ship) who is hereby made liable for the payment of the dues hereby levied in respect of any ship may out of any moneys received by him on account of that ship or belonging to the owner thereof retain the amount of such said dues paid by him together with any reasonable expenses he may have incurred by reason of the payment of the said dues or his liability to pay such dues.

6. If the owner, master, or agent of a British ship fails, on demand of the Consular Officer, to pay the said dues, the Consular Officer may, in addition to any other remedy which he is entitled to use, enter upon the ship and distrain the goods, tackle, or anything belonging to the ship and detain that distress until the said dues are paid.

7. If payment of the said dues is not made within the period of three days next ensuing the distress, the Consular Officer may, at any time during the continuance of the non-payment, cause the distress to be appraised by two sufficient persons or sworn appraisers, and thereupon sell the same and apply the proceeds in payment of the said dues due together with any reasonable expenses incurred by him under this Order, paying the surplus (if any) on demand to the owner or master of the ship.

8. A receipt for the said dues shall be given by the Consular Officer to every person paying the same.

9. (1) This Order shall come into force on the 1st day of October, 1932.

(2) This Order shall be published in notices exhibited in the London Gazette and in His Majesty’s Consulates in Egypt.

(3) Proof shall not in any proceeding or matter be required that the provisions of the preceding paragraph of this article have been complied with nor shall any act or proceeding be invalidated by any failure to comply with these provisions.

The Right Honourable Sir John Simon, one of His Majesty’s principal Secretaries of State, is to give the necessary directions herein.
