MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 655

Control of local lighthouse authorities by general lighthouse authorities.

655.(1) If any lighthouse, buoy, or beacon is erected or placed, or
reconstructed, repaired, or replaced by a local lighthouse authority, Her
Majesty may, on the application of that authority, by Order in Council, fix
such dues to be paid to that authority in respect of every ship which enters
the port or harbour under the control of that authority or the estuary in
which the lighthouse, buoy, or beacon is situate, and which passes the
lighthouse, buoy, or beacon and derives benefit therefrom as Her Majesty may
think reasonable.

(2) Any dues fixed under this section (in this Act referred to as local light
dues) shall be paid by the same persons and may be recovered in the same
manner as light dues under this Part of this Act.

(3) Her Majesty may by Order in Council reduce, alter, or increase any local
light dues, so that those dues, so far as possible, may be sufficient and not
more than sufficient for the payment of the expenses incurred by the local
lighthouse authority in respect of the lighthouses, buoys, or beacons for
which the dues are levied.
