(3) Vessels from overseas requiring medical examination will enter
examination anchorage, and then proceed to gazetted anchorage in
Inner Harbour for medical inspection.

39. Routes to be followed are as laid down in the New Zealand Pilot.

40. Speed Limits.—Vessels are not to exceed a maximum speed of
    10 knots.

41. Anchorages are as laid down in the New Zealand Pilot and on
    Admiralty Charts.

42. Special Regulations for Small Craft.—Small craft are, as far as
    practicable, to keep clear of the fairways of the Rangitoto Channel
    and Inner Harbour.

43. Lights to be shown or obscured at Night in the Port and in the
    Examination Anchorage—By all Merchant Vessels:

(a) When under way—The regulation lights are to be displayed :

(b) When at anchor or secured—Normally, no lights are to be
visible from outboard (but see paragraph 44).

44. When a merchant vessel is under way, merchant vessels at
    anchor or secured are to show anchor lights (see paragraph 46) until
    such vessel is anchored or secured, or, in the case of a merchant vessel
    leaving, until such vessel is clear of the port. Vessels at anchor in
    the examination anchorage are to obscure their lights when the vessel
    under way is clear of the examination anchorage.

45. Steaming Lights and Bow Lights.—Merchant vessels permitted
    to navigate within the port and in the examination anchorage in the
    dark hours are not to employ electrically-lit lanterns as steaming or
    bow lights.

46. Anchor Lights.—Electrically-lit lanterns are not to be used.
    Normal brilliancy of all lanterns used is to be reduced by one-half.
    All lanterns used are to be fitted with overhead screens arranged so
    as to cut off the light at an angle of between 20° and 25° above the
    horizontal.

47. Other Lights.—No lights aloft, on deck, or below (except those
    mentioned in paragraphs 43 to 46 above, and such as are necessary
    for authorized signalling purposes) shall be permitted to be visible
    from outboard. This applies to all merchant vessels whether under
    way, at anchor, or secured.

(2) It is imperative that masters and others in charge of merchant
vessels should see that this order, which is for their own protection, is
carried out.

48. Fog and Thick-weather Regulations.—Vessels other than ferry-
    steamers and small craft should anchor during fog or thick weather.

49. Approach to Government Vessels and Establishments.—No
    merchant vessel is to approach any Government vessel, ship, lighter,
    or other Government craft, or any Government dockyard or establish-
    ments without a written permit from the Captain-in-Charge to be
    obtained through the Collector of Customs.

(2) The Examining Officer will inform merchant vessels that vessels
flying certain distinguishing signals are Government vessels and are
not to be approached.

50. Merchant Vessels to keep clear of H.M. Ships.—All merchant
    vessels are to keep clear of any of H.M. ships being navigated in the port.

51. Patrol of Internal Waterways and Approaches to the Port.—
    The internal waterways of the port and the approaches thereto may
    be patrolled by Naval patrol craft and/or other Government vessels.
    Captains, masters, and others in charge of merchant vessels are hereby
    warned to observe any orders given by the patrols. All merchant
    vessels are subject to inspection and search by these patrols.
    Disobedience of orders given by these patrols renders a merchant
    vessel liable to be fired on.

    Vessel may leave the Port.—Permission to leave must be obtained from
    the Collector of Customs and masters are to inquire from that officer

    papers are issued.

    steamers and small craft should anchor during fog or thick weather.

58. Signal Prohibiting Sailing.—A blue flag, hoisted at King’s
    Wharf Signal-station and Mount Victoria, indicates that no merchant
    vessel is to leave the port while that signal is flying.

59. Routes to be followed are as laid down in the New Zealand Pilot.
