This legislation has been repealed.
The master of any
vessel shall not discharge, nor shall any consignor deliver for shipment, a
package or article, of a gross weight of one tonne or over unless that package
or article shall have the exact weight marked on it in legible characters not
less than twenty five millimetres in size; but where it is not practicable to
weigh any package or article the weight of which is more than one tonne the
gross weight of that package or article may be stated approximately within a
limit of one tonne, that is to say “over one but under two tonnes”
or as the case may be.
