MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 84

Tonnage of ships of foreign countries adopting tonnage regulations.

84.(1) Whenever it appears to Her Majesty the Queen in Council that the
tonnage regulations of this Act have been adopted by any foreign country, and
are in force there, Her Majesty in Council may order that the ships of that
country shall, without being re-measured in Her Majesty's dominions, be deemed
to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other
national papers, in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same
purposes as the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of a British
ship is deemed to be the tonnage of that ship, ... [and any space shown by the
certificate of registry or other national papers of any such ship as deducted
from the tonnage shall, where a similar deduction in the case of a British
ship depends on compliance with any conditions or on the compliance being
evidenced in any manner, be deemed to comply with those conditions and to be
so evidenced, unless a surveyor of ships certifies to the Board of Trade that
the construction and the equipment of the ship as respects that space do not
come up to the standard which would be required if the ship were a British
ship registered in the United Kingdom].

(2) Her Majesty in Council may limit the time during which the Order is to
remain in operation, and make the Order subject to such conditions and
qualifications (if any) as Her Majesty may deem expedient, and the operation
of the Order shall be limited and modified accordingly.

(3) If it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the tonnage of any foreign
ship, as measured by the rules of the country to which she belongs, materially
differs from that which would be her tonnage if measured under this Act, Her
Majesty in Council may order that, notwithstanding any Order in Council for
the time being in force under this section, any of the ships of that country
may, for all or any of the purposes of this Act, be re-measured in accordance
with this Act.
