Amendment of Navigation (Dangerous Goods) Regulations.

(Statutory Rules 1926, No. 101.)

1. Regulation 3 of the Navigation (Dangerous Goods) Regulations is amended by omitting from sub-regulation (1) thereof the words “in respect of the shipment in any ship, British or foreign, at any port in Australia, of any dangerous goods” and inserting in their stead the words “to any ship, British or foreign, in which any dangerous goods are proposed to be shipped at any port in Australia”.

2. The Navigation (Dangerous Goods) Regulations are amended by inserting after regulation 4 the following regulation:—

“4a.— (1) Where it is desired to carry in any ship to which these Regulations apply dangerous goods of the following classes, namely:—

(a) explosives; or

(b) petroleum to be stowed below deck, of a flash point under 73° Fahrenheit,

the master or owner of the vessel shall make written application to the Deputy Director for inspection by a surveyor of the magazine intended for the carriage of the explosives or of the space in which it is intended that the petroleum shall be carried, as the case requires.

(2) The goods shall not be stowed until the magazine or hold in which the explosives or petroleum, as the case may be, are to be carried has been inspected and approved by a surveyor.”*

 

* Note.—The fees for the survey of a magazine for explosives, or of the ventilation of a hold for the carriage of inflammable liquids, are set out in Schedule ii. to the Navigation (Survey and Equipment) Regulations.
