The Secretary can accept a foreign country's own vessel-tonnage measurement instead of remeasuring the vessel. This applies only if that country's measurement laws are substantially similar to this chapter's rules. It doesn't apply to vessels already measured under chapter 143.
For a foreign vessel* not measured under chapter 143 of this title, if the Secretary finds that the foreign country's laws and regulations for measuring vessels are substantially similar to this chapter and the regulations prescribed under it, the Secretary may accept that country's measurement and certificate for the vessel* as complying with this chapter and its regulations.
For a foreign vessel* not measured under chapter 143, if the Secretary finds that the laws and regulations of a foreign country related to measurement of vessels are substantially similar to those of this chapter and the regulations prescribed under this chapter, the Secretary may accept the measurement and certificate of a vessel* of that foreign country as complying with this chapter and the regulations prescribed under this chapter.
