(2) Where the Minister is satisfied that the government of any foreign country desires that any of the provisions of this Act or any regulations made thereunder which do not apply to ships registered in or belonging to that country, or to any class or description of those ships, should so apply either generally or in specified circumstances, and no special provision for such application is made elsewhere in this Act, the Minister may by order made by statutory instrument declare that such provisions of this Act or any regulations made thereunder shall, subject to any limitation prescribed in such order, apply to ships registered in or belonging to that country or, as the case may be, to any class or description of such ships and to the owners, masters and crews and other persons in the service of such ships when not locally in the jurisdiction of such country, in the same manner as if those ships were Saint Lucian ships.
