Tamil Nadu Indian Ports (Amendment) Act, 1925
Infrastructure19252 sections
This amendment act clarifies legal definitions within the Indian Ports Act by specifying that "ship" refers to vessels propelled solely by wind power, while "steamer" means any other type of vessel. Originally enacted in 1908 to regulate port administration and vessel operations, this amendment provides essential definitional precision that helps determine which regulations apply to different vessel types. The change matters because accurate classification affects legal responsibilities, liability, compliance requirements, and administrative procedures for vessel operators within Indian ports.
