SECOND SCHEDULE.

PART I.

Provisions applying in relation to tonnage rates.

Tonnage rates shall not be chargeable in respect of both the arrival and departure of a vessel but if a vessel on which tonnage rates have been charged in respect of its arrival takes on board at any of the harbours cargo or passengers for a port or place the tonnage rates for which are higher than those charged on such arrival, the difference between the two rates shall be chargeable.
