(From the New Zealand Gazette, April 20, 1867. No. 25.)

The following arrangements made in December, 1866, for carrying out the provisions of "The Steam Navigation Act, 1866," are published for general information, with corrections to include more recent arrangements.

J. M. BALFOUR,
Colonial Marine Engineer.
Wellington, 15th April, 1867.

1. Mr Nancarrow, appointed Official Inspector and Engineer Surveyor under the Act, will visit every port of the Colony at regular intervals of three months.

2. Other Inspectors or Engineer Surveyors have been appointed for particular groups of ports: such officers do not receive a fixed salary but are paid for each inspection or other service on a regular scale.

3. At the ports where such additional Surveyors have been appointed, it has been arranged that they shall take the intermediate quarterly surveys, but in any case the permanent Engineer Surveyor will visit each port and survey every steamer at least once in each half-year.

4. The time for Mr Nancarrow’s visits to each port has been arranged so as to suit the times when the steamers belonging to that port require to be surveyed, as nearly as possible; and he will lengthen or shorten the periods for which the next certificates are to be in force so that they shall all fall in at the proper times in future.

5. Should the certificate of a steamer belonging to any port lapse before the period of the Inspector’s visit, the Collector of Customs at that port is authorised to permit the vessel to run in the interim, on receipt of a written declaration signed by the master and engineer, that her hull, boilers, machinery, and equipments are in good condition.
