With the advent of oil-fired vessels, steam-vessels have become scare and even the short title to the Act would be misleading in the present context. Accordingly it is proposed to modify the short title of the Act as "Inland Vessels Act" and to substitute the expression "steam-vessel" by the expression "mechanically propelled vessel".
