MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 418

418.(1) Her Majesty may, on the joint recommendation of the Admiralty and the
Board of Trade, by Order in Council, make regulations for the prevention of
collisions at sea, and may thereby regulate the lights to be carried and
exhibited, the fog signals to be carried and used, and the steering and
sailing rules to be observed, by ships, and those regulations (in this Act
referred to as the collision regulations), shall have effect as if enacted in
this Act.

(2) The collision regulations, together with the provisions of this Part of
this Act relating thereto, or otherwise relating to collisions, shall be
observed by all foreign ships within British jurisdiction, and in any case
arising in a British Court concerning matters arising within British
jurisdiction foreign ships shall, so far as respects the collision regulations
and the said provisions of this Act, be treated as if they were British ships.
