§ 39. Mr. LOGANasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the steamship "Kelsomoor," which arrived in Hull in June, 1934, with a deck cargo of timber, had a heavy list of 25 degrees owing to the starboard side of No. 2 ballast tank having given way; that, after the discharge of her cargo and without any proper repairs, the vessel left Hull for Rimouski for the purpose of carrying a deck cargo of lumber across the Atlantic from Rimouski to the Bristol Channel; that the vessel has since been out to Haifa; and whether proper repairs have yet been made to the No. 2 ballast tank?
§ Dr. BURGINThe "Kelsomoor" arrived at Hull in June, 1934, with a list and was immediately inspected by a Board of Trade Surveyor. The list was found to be due to damaged tanks and the vessel did not sail until repairs had been executed to the satisfaction of the board's surveyors. Further in4spections of the repairs were made at Leith a few 525 days later, and again in the Clyde, after the ship had made a voyage to Canada, when the repaired tanks were found to be in satisfactory condition. I understand that the ship has since been through re-classification survey, in the course of which permanent repairs have been effected to the satisfaction of the Classification Society's surveyors.
