What this does

This rule sets fees for government inspections of crew housing on ships.

When a Medical Inspector (a government health officer) examines the living quarters provided for officers and crew, the ship owner must pay a fee based on the vessel's size:

Small ships (under 500 tons): 15 shillings
Medium ships (500–2,000 tons): £1 (one pound)
Large ships (over 2,000 tons): £1 and 10 shillings

The owner must also pay the inspector's travel expenses.

Free inspections

No fee applies for the first two inspections carried out within any 12-month period.

Why it matters

These checks ensure that seafarers have adequate accommodation that meets health and safety standards. The fees help cover the cost of carrying out these inspections.
