.....To meet the immediate requirements of the country soon after independence the Merchant Shipping Laws. (Extension to Acceding States and Amendment) Act, 1949 was enacted, by which the British Merchant Shipping Acts 1894 to 1938 were extended to the Acceding States (later known as Part B States) and Indian Consular Officers were empowered to perform functions in relation to Indian ships outside India and provision was made to enable Government to prescribe the proper national colours for ships registered in India, The Control of Shipping Act, 1947, was another short-term measure which continued the war-time control over Indian shipping and controlled the coastal trade by a system of licensing.

Inland Vessels Act, 1917 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1917

.....the legislation more effective and useful in regulating the operation of inland vessels having regard to the present day needs. 2. The principal Act was enacted when steam-vessels were in vogue. 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". There is no provision now enabling the mortgage of vessels by owners for securing financial assistance for the construction or repair of vessels. Provisions in that regard on the lines of those contained in the Merchant Shipping Act, 195S (44 of 1958)are proposed in order to overcome the difficulty. In the case of wreck, etc., the State Government is authorised to appoint a Court of investigation only on a report to that effect from the master of the vessel. It is considered necessary to provide for the appointment of a Court of investigation on the report of persons other than the master also. At present there is no provision in the Act enabling the.....

.....been preserved. The only clause which in any way alters the law at at present in force in clause 43(b). That clause corresponds to S. 43(b) of the Act, which enacts that the owner or master of a vessel must pay all expenses, required by S.228 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854 to be borne by him, before the grant of a port-clearance. The Statute of 1854 has been repealed by the present Merchant Shipping Act, 1894 (57 and 58 Vict.. Cap. 60). Section 207 of which makes the owner or master liable to pay a further item of expense in addition to the items mentioned in the corresponding Section (228) of the repealed Statute.
