46 U.S.C. § 14512 — Standard tonnage measurement
submitted 40 years ago by Pub. L. 99-509 to r/title-46-SHIPPING · 116 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary must write regulations for measuring a covered vessel's gross and net tonnage. These tonnages must match what the old Revised Statutes sections 4151 and 4153 would have allowed. On request, the Secretary can note deductible spaces allowed by other countries but not by U.S. rules.
The Secretary shall prescribe regulations for measuring the gross and net tonnages of a vessel* under this subchapter. The regulations shall provide for tonnages comparable to the tonnages that could have been assigned under sections 4151 and 4153 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, as sections 4151 and 4153 existed immediately before the enactment of this section.
On application of the owner or master of a vessel of the United States* used in foreign trade, the Secretary may attach an appendix to the vessel’s register stating the measurement of spaces that may be deducted from gross tonnage under laws and regulations of other countries but not under those of the United States.
