Whenever the Minister,(with the approval of His

Majesty shall, by notification in the Government Gazette, declare that for the purposes of this subsection the rules of any foreign country for the measurement of the tonnage of ships of that country (other than the tonnage regulations of the Merchant Shipping Acts) appear to the Minister with the approval of His Majesty to be not materially different from the rules under this Part for the ascertainment of the register tonnage of Brunei ships, then, until such declara-tion is cancelled or the time limit for its operation expires, this subsection shall apply to any ship of that country.

Any British ship and any ship to which subsection (2) applies shall, without being re-measured in

Brunei, be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in her certificate of registry or other national papers, in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes as the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of a Brunei ship is deemed to be the tonnage of that ship and any place shown by the certificate of registry or other national papers of any such ship as deducted from the tonnage shall, where a similar deduction in the case of a Brunei ship depends on compliance with any conditions or on the compliance being evidenced in any manner, be deemed to comply with those conditions and be so evidenced, unless a government sur-veyor certifies to the Director that the construction and the equipment of the ship as respects that space do not come up to the standards which would be required if the ship were a

Brunei ship registered under this Part.
