Modifications as to survey of passenger steamers holding Convention certificate.
|
17.—(1) Where a valid Safety Convention certificate is produced in respect of a Safety Convention passenger steamer not registered in Saorstát Eireann—
|
|
| |
(a) the provisions of the Principal Act and of this Act as to the survey of passenger steamers by engineer and wireless telegraphy surveyors shall be deemed to have been complied with in the case of the steamer;
|
|
| |
(b) the survey by the ship surveyor shall be limited to ascertaining the number of passengers which the steamer is fit to carry, and it shall not be necessary for the declaration of survey made by that surveyor to contain a statement of any further particulars than those set out in paragraph (e) of sub-section (3) of section two hundred and seventy-two of the Principal Act (which relates to the said number of passengers);
|
|
| |
(c) on receipt of such a declaration, the Minister shall issue a certificate under section two hundred and seventy-four of the Principal Act containing only a statement of the particulars set out in paragraph (b) of that section (which relates to the said number of passengers), and a certificate so issued shall have effect as a passenger steamer's certificate.
|
|
| |
(2) Where there is produced in respect of any such passenger steamer a valid Safety Convention certificate, and also a certificate issued by or under the authority of the Government of the country to which the steamer belongs, showing the number of passengers which the steamer is fit to carry, and the Minister is satisfied that that number has been determined substantially in the same manner as in the case of a steamer registered in Saorstát Eireann the Minister may if he thinks fit dispense with the survey of the steamer mentioned in the last foregoing sub-section and direct that the last mentioned certificate shall have effect as a passenger steamer's certificate.
