316.   Further powers to exempt ships of novel design

  1.  

    (1)   On the application of the owner of a Saint Lucian ship to which this Part applies, and where the ship is either an existing ship of not less than 150 gross tons or a new ship of not less than 24 metres in length, the Minister may exempt the ship if in the opinion of the Minister the ship embodies features of a novel kind such that, if the ship had to comply with all the requirements of this Part, the development of those features and their incorporation in the ship might be seriously impeded.

  1.  

    (2)   On the application of the owner of a Saint Lucian ship to which this Part applies, and which is either—

    1.  

      (a)     an existing ship of less than 150 gross tons or a new ship of less than 24 metres in length; or

    1.  

      (b)     a ship, not falling within paragraph (a), which does not ply on international voyages, the Minister may exempt the ship.

  1.  

    (3)   Without prejudice to subsection (2), where a Saint Lucian ship to which this Part applies is either an existing ship of not less than 150 gross tons or a new ship of not less than 24 metres in length, and does not normally ply on international voyages but is in exceptional circumstances, required to undertake a single international voyage, the Minister, on the application of the owner of the ship, specifying the international voyage in question, may exempt the ship while the ship is engaged on that voyage.

  1.  

    (4)   Any exemption granted under this section may be granted subject to such conditions as the Minister thinks fit; and where any such exemption is granted subject to conditions, the exemption shall not have effect unless those conditions are complied with.
