s 105

'(1) A government surveyor may inspect any ship for the purpose of seeing that the ship is properly provided with lights and the means of making fog signals in conformity with the collision regulations.

(2)

If the government surveyor finds that the ship is not so provided, he shall give to the master or owner notice in writing, pointing out the deficiency, and also what is, in his opinion, requisite in order to remedy the same.

(3)

Every notice so given shall be communicated by the government surveyor to the Director, and unless the

Director otherwise directs, the ship shall be detained until a certificate under the hand of a government surveyor is pro-duced to the effect that the ship is properly provided with lights and with the means of making fog signals, in con-formity with the collision regulations.

( 4) For the purpose of an inspection under this Part a government surveyor shall have all the powers of an in-spector under this Act.
