何謂"直接提述"呢？
What is meant by direct reference?
政府所提供的立法會參考資料摘要沒有詳細解釋，只提及《條例草案》第5、6、8、9、10及11條所提的修訂關乎直接提述。
The Legislative Council Brief provided by the Government has not explained it in detail . It only says that the amendments proposed in clauses 5 6 8 9 10 and 11 of the Bill are related to direct reference
當我們翻查上述條文時，發現條文措辭是"廢除'附表1'"，"代以'《附則II》'"，而《附則II》所指的，便是國際海事組織所通過的《公約》的《附則II》，即"射波"再"射波"。
Upon checking the above clauses we have found that they contain the wording Repeal Schedule 1 and Substitute Annex II . The Annex II here means the Annex II to the Convention adopted by IMO . That is to say the reference in those clauses is exophoric
修訂前的《條例》載有附表，當中列明有關貨櫃的規定、標記及測試程序等細節。
Before this amendment exercise the Ordinance contains a Schedule setting out the details on the requirements markings and testing procedures for containers
為了讓小組委員會有足夠時間進行有關的審議工作，我謹動議將該3項附屬法例的審議期限延展至2020年12月2日。
In order to give the Subcommittee sufficient time to conduct the scrutiny I move that the period for scrutinizing the three pieces of subsidiary legislation be extended to 2 December 2020
為了讓小組委員會有足夠時間向內務委員會報告其審議結果，謹請議員支持議案，將該3項附屬法例的審議期限，延展至2020年12月2日的立法會會議。
To allow the Subcommittee sufficient time to report to the House Committee the result of its deliberation I call upon Members to support this motion to extend the period for deliberation of the three pieces of subsidiary legislation to the meeting of the Legislative Council on 2 December 2020 . RESOLVED that in relation to the― a Closed Area Order Commencement Notice published in the Gazette as Legal Notice No
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：鄺俊宇議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr KWONG Chun - yu be passed
我現在向各位提出的......
I now propose to you
鄺俊宇議員，你是否想發言？
Mr KWONG Chun - yu do you wish to speak?
是的，代理主席，請先冷靜，今晚時間充裕，因此我在7時前當然要與大家談談香園圍邊境管制站這議題。
Yes Deputy President . Please calm down first . We have ample time this evening so I surely have to talk about the Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point before 7col00 pm
作為與香園圍邊境管制站啟用相關的3項附屬法例的小組委員會主席，我讀出秘書處的發言稿後，要繼續發言，讓各位同事察悉延展相關附屬法例審議期限的重要性，因為其中涉及《2020年實體貨幣及不記名可轉讓票據跨境流動條例公告》。
As Chairman of the Subcommittee on Three Pieces of Subsidiary Legislation Relating to the Commissioning of Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point I have to continue speaking after reading out the Secretariats speaking note so that fellow colleagues will understand the importance of extending the period for deliberation of the relevant subsidiary legislation . The reason is that the Cross - boundary Movement of Physical Currency and Bearer Negotiable Instruments Ordinance Notice 2020 the Notice is involved
鄺俊宇議員，議員無須在是次會議決定是否支持有關附屬法例，亦不應該詳細討論有關附屬法例。
Mr KWONG Chun - yu Members do not need to decide at this meeting whether they support the relevant subsidiary legislation or not . Also they should not discuss the subsidiary legislation in detail
主席，放心，我只是作出啟動，讓同事備悉，而我亦知道秘書處稍後會再作安排。
President please rest assured that I just start off the discussion so that fellow colleagues will take note of the matter . I also know that the Secretariat will make further arrangement later
我只是強調，這次審議的附屬法例中，有一項茲事體大，因為牽涉防止抵港或離港的人攜帶大量現金。
I just want to highlight that amongst the pieces of subsidiary legislation to be scrutinized there is one important issue ie . disallowing people arriving at or departing from Hong Kong from carrying a huge amount of cash
我們希望屆時能夠有一些更實質的資料，因為在上次的小組委員會會議上，無論屬於甚麼政治光譜，是建制派還是民主派的同事，都提出不少問題，而官員亦給予非常適當的答覆。
We hope that by then more concrete information will be made available . That is because at the last meeting of the Subcommittee Members belonging to different political spectrum pro - establishment or democratic alike have raised a lot of questions and the officials have also given very appropriate replies
我只是希望稍後會有更多書面資料能呈交立法會，而我們在這個階段能就此繼續發言及辯論。
I hope that more written information can be submitted to the Legislative Council later and by then we can continue to speak and debate on the issue
三項根據《釋義及通則條例》，就延展附屬法例的修訂期限動議的擬議決議案。
Three proposed resolutions under the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance in relation to the extension of the period for amending subsidiary legislation
主席，現時是《2019年運貨貨櫃條例草案》的三讀階段，我要說的是對《條例草案》整體優劣的意見。
President it is now the Third Reading stage of the Freight Containers Safety Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill so I have to give my views on the general merits of the Bill
我不會重複我在恢復二讀辯論時說過的原則或政策問題。
I am not going to repeat the principles or policy issues that I talked about during the debate on the resumption of the Second Reading
主席，我會集中說《條例草案》的優劣。
President I will focus on talking about the merits of the Bill
我認識蘇偉文副局長已10多年。
I have known Under Secretary Dr Raymond SO for more than a decade
我需要澄清，我和他以前都是香港房屋委員會的委員，彼此有很多意見交流，尤其是在運輸或貨櫃方面。
I have to clarify that he and I were both members of the Hong Kong Housing Authority and we used to exchange a lot of views particularly on matters relating to transport and containers
可是，我們沒有機會向政府表達這些改進的建議。
However we have no chance to make improvement suggestions to the Government
我再舉另一個例子，便是聯合國的制裁協議。
Let me cite another example ie . the sanction agreements of the United Nations
由於中文是聯合國的其中一種官方語 言，所以制裁協議有中文本；但若要讓這個中文本適用於香港法例，便應該有本地適應化的過程。
Since Chinese is one of the official languages of the United Nations there is a Chinese version for sanction agreements . However if the Chinese version is to be made applicable to the laws of Hong Kong there should be a process of local adaptation
在安全合格牌照，即附表2這部分，尤其是......
Regarding the part on safety approval plate ie
這是其中一個例子。
This is one of the examples
第二，同是附表2的第3條"牌照的固定裝設"訂明，安全合格牌照的裝設位置須使該牌照"a易於看得見；b毗鄰任何其他獲正式批准的、固定裝設在該貨櫃上的牌照；以及c相當不可能會易於受損壞"。
This is crucial . Secondly in clause 3 Fixing of plates of Schedule 2 it is stipulated that a safety approval plate must be fixed in a position so that it is a readily visible; b adjacent to any other officially approved plate fixed to the container; and c not likely to be easily damaged
當然，牌照的裝設需要穩固和易於讓人看到，但問題是，其實其他法例也會有其他要求，而當局在這方面亦做得不全面。
Certainly plates must be fixed firmly and in an easily visible manner; however the problem is that there are actually other requirements in other legislation and the authorities have not handled the matter in a comprehensive manner
我想說的，是環保斗車也可以用二維碼來管制。
What I want to say is that QR codes can be used to regulate skips
主席，我謹此發言。
President I so submit
主席，就《2019年運貨貨櫃條例草案》，我想討論數個重點。
President regarding the Freight Containers Safety Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill there are a few main points I would like to discuss
宏觀而言，大家皆知道，《基本法》第一百二十四條至第一百二十七條確立了香港作為國際航運中心的地位。
From a macro perspective it is a well - known fact that Articles 124 to 127 of the Basic Law have established Hong Kongs position as an international shipping hub
《條例草案》亦建議修訂貨櫃結構安全測試的程序，這屬於程序方面的修訂。
The Bill also proposes amendments to the procedures for testing the structural safety of containers which are procedural in nature
第一，正如有議員剛才質疑，為何運輸及房屋局就《條例草案》所提的修訂需花上長時間，才能夠提交立法會恢復二讀及三讀呢？
First as the Member has just queried why did it take a long time for the Transport and Housing Bureau to submit the proposed amendments in the Bill to the Legislative Council for resumption of the Second Reading debate and the Third Reading?
主席，立法會也可以成立一個常設小組委員會，專責審議航運、空運或陸運現時應該沒有國際陸運組織國際協議當中會影 響本港法例的改動。
President the Legislative Council can also set up a standing subcommittee dedicated to the scrutiny of amendments to the international agreements involving sea air or land freight―there is probably no international organization relating to land freight―which will affect Hong Kongs legislation
《條例草案》建議規定，堆碼或推拉能力有限的貨櫃，其牌照上須具劃一的顯眼標記。
A proposal in the Bill is to require the SAPs of containers with limited stacking or racking capacity to be conspicuously marked in a standardized manner
意思是，如果貨櫃的推拉能力有限，便須附上容易識別及顯眼的標記。
This means containers must be fixed with easily identifiable and conspicuous markings if they have limited racking capacity
將這項安全規定納入香港法例，是有必要的，但問題是，單單這項改動無法提高貨櫃碼頭運作的安全系數，因為始終只是標籤。
The incorporation of this safety requirement is necessary but the problem is that this amendment is unable to enhance the factor of safety factors in container terminal operation because it is merely about labelling after all
主席，多宗與貨櫃有關的意外其實並非在船上發生的。
President a number of container - related accidents actually did not happen on vessels
我留意到你剛才已劃線，並指《基本法》第七十二條第一項賦予你權力劃線，但我卻看不到《基本法》第七十二條第一項賦予你有凌駕性的權力，可以不依照《議事規則》......
I noted that just now you already set a time limit for the debate and stated that you were empowered by Article 721 of the Basic Law to set a time limit for debates . But I fail to see that Article 721 of the Basic Law confers on you an overriding power to disregard the Rules of Procedure
若你認為我越權，你可循其他途徑挑戰我的決定。
If you think that I have acted ultra vires you may challenge my decision through other channels
代理主席，我不戴口罩發言會比較方便，而且想向公眾解釋，我不佩戴口罩是因為我方圓兩丈也沒有人，應該是安全的。
Deputy Chairman it is more convenient for me to speak without wearing the mask . And I want to explain to the public that there is no one within 20 feet around me so it should be safe
《條例草案》第1條列出簡稱，並就生效日期訂定條文，而《條例草案》第3條修訂《運貨貨櫃條例》第2條，廢除一些定義，並加入《條例》中使用的一些定義，以反映《公約》所用的最新用詞。
Clause 1 of the Bill sets out the short title and provides for commencement . Clause 3 of the Bill amends section 2 of the Freight Containers Safety Ordinance to repeal certain definitions and add new definitions in the Ordinance to reflect the latest terms adopted in the Convention
這些條文我覺得問題也不大。
I do not find these clauses much of a problem
此外，《條例草案》第4條的修訂，是作出一些文本修訂，當中牽涉以對"質量"的提述，取代對"重量"的提述，以跟從《公約》的更改，這種做法是要與國際單位制一致。
Besides clause 4 of the Bill seeks to make some textual amendments . They involve among others replacing the references to weight by mass so as to follow the change adopted in the Convention to align with the International System of Units
同事較早時提出為何要用2014年7月1日作界線，而我反而不太認為要就日期有所爭議，我明白背後的邏輯，因為《公約》的其中一項決議是在2013年作出，並在2014年生效的，所以在法理邏輯上，我們便跟隨《公約》的生效日期，將這個豁免期訂於2014年7月1日之前。
I can understand the logic behind . It is because one of the resolutions on the Convention was adopted in 2013 and became effective in 2014 . So the legal logic is that we should follow the commencement date of the resolution on the Convention and set the exemption date on the time before 1 July 2014
不過，我就這項條文也有其他質疑，我稍後會再作詳細解釋。
However I have other questions about this clause and I will explain in detail later
之前同事亦有提出，他們對於這種直接提述方式感到有點擔心，因為這樣可能會令立法會喪失修訂的機會。
As some colleagues pointed out earlier they are a little concerned about this direct reference approach because it may take away the opportunity for the Legislative Council to amend ordinances
我對此本身不太關注，我覺得在邏輯上，既然我們已認同一些國際協議的字眼，那麼納入為本地法例或附屬法例的時候，其實越貼近國際協議便越好，無論是字眼上或行文上。
I am not that worried about this . Given that we already approved the terms adopted in some international agreements so in incorporating their terms into local legislation or subsidiary legislation the closer the terms or the drafting of our legislation to those international agreements the better
不過，的確，直接提述方式也要有些靈活度，不能夠完全照抄，因為有時候適用於本地的法例，的確有需要修訂一些字眼。
But we should indeed adopt some flexibility with the direct reference approach and should not copy directly from those international agreements because in drafting local legislation we sometimes need to localize some of the terms
所以，我覺得要就這一點表示關注。
I thus think I need to express concern over this point
目前《條例》附表1列明貨櫃結構安全和測試的規定，因應這個附表的廢除，《條例草案》第5、6、8和9條分別修訂《條例》第5、6、10A和14條，以直接提述《公約》《附則II》，這個同樣涉及使用直接提述方式，所以我不再重複我的關注。
Currently Schedule 1 of the Ordinance sets out the requirements for the structural safety and tests of containers . Consequential to the repeal of that Schedule clauses 5 6 8 and 9 of the Bill amend sections 5 6 10A and 14 of the Ordinance respectively to make direct references to Annex II to the Convention . Since this also involves the direct reference approach I will not repeat my concern
《條例草案》第12條以新訂附表2，取代《條例》現有附表2，就安全合格牌照的標記和固定裝設的最新規定，包括就堆碼和推拉能力有限的貨櫃的牌照的額外標記規定訂立條文。
Clause 12 of the Bill replaces the existing Schedule 2 to the Ordinance with a new Schedule 2 to provide for the latest requirements for the marking and fixing of safety approval plates including the additional marking requirements for plates of containers with limited stacking or racking capacity
《規例》第3A條，是有關總重量需要用一些方式去驗證，而《規例》本身用的是"重量"，它亦用一個總重量的概念來描述這些貨櫃用甚麼形式驗證。
Section 3A of the Regulation Cap . 369AV concerns the methods adopted for verifying the gross weight; and the Regulation uses the term weight and it uses the concept of gross weight to describe the verifying methods used for containers
但是，《條例草案》正正是要將"質量"取代"重量"，這裏牽涉第369AV章中有關貨櫃的裝載及安全合格牌照顯示的最大總重量，在字眼上是有衝突。
But the Bill seeks to replace weight with mass which will clash with the term in Cap . 369AV regarding the loading of containers and the maximum gross weight indicated on the safety approval plates
如果不弄清楚這些概念、不分清楚做法，而法律上又缺乏一致性時，我擔心將來會出現很多爭拗。
If people do not sort out these concepts and do not differentiate between these methods and the ordinances are inconsistent I am worried that many disputes may arise in the future
如果不會，我擔心這個矛盾會繼續存在，以致當局在執法時會出現困難。
If he will not do so I am concerned that this inconsistency will continue to exist and become an obstacle to law enforcement in the future
這是我暫時就《條例草案》第4條的修訂表達的關注。
This is my concern over clause 4 of the Bill at the moment
《條例草案》第7條的修訂有關豁免日期，我認為這裏出現了一些問題。
Clause 7 of the Bill seeks to amend the exemption date . I think there are some problems here
如果在2014年7月1日前完成建造的貨櫃可獲豁免，究竟豁免了多少貨櫃呢？
If containers constructed before 1 July 2014 can be exempted how many containers will be exempted?
我不知道政府當局有否做過研究或統計。
I do not know if the Administration has conducted any research or compiled any statistic on this
有關過去一年香港的貨櫃吞吐量，以2019年為例，我們有1,830萬個標準貨櫃的吞吐量。
Take the container throughput of Hong Kong in 2019 as an example . We had a throughput of 18.3 million twenty - foot equivalent units TEUs in 2019
當然，現時已經大幅下跌，2014年我們有2,000多萬個。
This is indeed a significant drop . Back in 2014 our throughput reached some 20 million TEUs
而在這1,830萬個貨櫃中，有多少是2014年7月1日前建造的呢？
Among these 18.3 million TEUs how many were constructed before 1 July 2014?
《公約》的決議生效大概已有6年以上時間，很多貨櫃因為其他國家已經立法並很快生效，以致這些貨櫃來到香港時，它們的安全合格牌照的標記已經轉變了位置。
The resolutions on the Convention came into force more than six years ago . Many containers arriving in Hong Kong have already changed the positions for their safety approval plates in order to comply with the requirements of other countries which have expeditiously incorporated the resolution into their local legislation
我們的操作人員處理這些貨櫃時，已經開始習慣因應新的位置，看看如何操作這些貨櫃。
Our container workers already get used to handling these containers according to the new positions of their safety approval plates affixed
因為我們知道，當貨櫃有清楚的標記時，處理貨櫃的方式會有所不同。
As far as we know workers may handle containers with clear markings differently
我不知道副局長或相關官員在修訂法例時，尤其是提供豁免方面，有否問過貨櫃碼頭的操作人員？
I wonder if the Under Secretary or the officials concerned have consulted the operators at container terminals when they proposed to amend the Ordinance especially in the giving of the exemption
本環節的辯論時間結束。
The debating time of this section has come to an end
我現在請運輸及房屋局局長發言。
I now call upon the Secretary for Transport and Housing to speak
主席，我發言反對《2019年運貨貨櫃條例草案》。
President I will speak against the Freight Containers Safety Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill
《條例草案》本身沒有太大爭議性，因為純粹是要落實香港已簽署多年的《國際集裝箱安全公約》。
The Bill itself is not too controversial as it merely seeks to implement the International Convention for Safe Containers which Hong Kong signed many years ago
雖然看似是技術性修訂，但其實是兩種概念，量度的方法及單位亦有分別。
While this appears to be a technical amendment the concepts of the two terms are completely different and the measurement methods and units are also different
第369AV章所訂定的貨櫃安全合格牌照，與現時審議的《條例草案》所訂的安全合格牌照是一樣的。
369AV . The safety approval plate stipulated under Cap . 369AV is the same as that stipulated in the Bill which is now under consideration
但是，剛才我聽不到局長有正面回應我這個問題。
However just now I have not heard any positive response from the Secretary to my question
也許是我聽漏了，我希望局長可以就着這方面認真回應。
Perhaps I have missed it but I hope that the Secretary will seriously respond to this question
如果《條例草案》在通過成為法例後會製造一些矛盾或混亂，這樣我們便太不負責任了。
We will be acting irresponsibly if the Bill that will create contradiction or confusion is enacted
胡志偉議員剛才也提到，《條例草案》訂明在2014年7月1日之前完成建造的貨櫃不需要符合修訂法例，即是說修訂法例容許這些貨櫃繼續存在及使用，不需要跟隨現時的最新標準，但即使是最新標準亦已訂立多年。
As mentioned by Mr WU Chi - wai just now the Bill provides that containers constructed before 1 July 2014 are not required to comply with the amended legislation . In other words the amended legislation allows these containers to remain in use without having to meet the latest standard even though the latest standard was drawn up many years ago
政府表示，在2014年7月1日以後，所有締約國應已受《公約》的新規定所規限，而貨櫃亦應已達到有關的標準。
According to the Government as all the contracting states would be governed by the new provisions under the Convention after 1 July 2014 their containers should meet the relevant standard
《條例草案》獲通過後，於2014年7月1日之前完成建造的貨櫃將獲得永遠豁免，我很擔心這反而製造了危險。
Following the passage of the Bill containers constructed before 1 July 2014 will be granted permanent exemption and I am very worried that they may cause hazards
《條例草案》的原意是要使香港的標準與國際標準一致，從而改善香港的安全標準。
The original intent of the Bill is to bring Hong Kongs standard in line with the international standard with a view to improving our safety standard
主席，你想想，前線工作人員須處理的大量貨櫃中，有部分已符合最新的安全標準，但亦有部分仍未符合標準，即是標記規定並不相同。
President imagine that frontline workers have to handle a large number of containers; while some of which have met the latest safety standard some have not meaning that there are different marking requirements
由於有些貨櫃獲得豁免，有些貨櫃則已符合標準，有經驗的工作人員、碼頭工人或機手是否這麼容易分辨？
If some containers will be granted exemption whereas others will have to comply with the standard will it be easy for experienced staff dockworkers or crane operators to tell the difference?
與其給予永遠豁免，我認為較好的方法是提供寬限期。
Instead of granting permanent exemption I think a better approach is to provide a grace period
法例很多時候都會給予一個寬限期，即是在一段時間內......
It is common for laws to provide a grace period that is within a certain period of time
明白，我是在嘗試解釋為何要反對三讀，並有數個原因。
I understand and I am trying to explain why I oppose the Third Reading . There are several reasons
除了提出反對外，我亦希望提出正面的方法解決問題，便是訂定日落條款，設定時限，例如給予10年時間以作過渡，讓所有貨櫃皆能符合最新標準。
I am concerned about this . Apart from raising opposition I would also like to put forward a positive solution to this problem . A sunset clause may be stipulated to set a time limit say all containers should meet the latest standard within a transitional period of 10 years
這樣最低限度不會出現因貨櫃在2014年7月1日前或後製造而出現不同的標記，或是標記置於不同的位置，我認為這是十分合理的想法。
This will at least avoid having different markings for containers constructed before or after 1 July 2014 or fixing the markings of containers at different positions . In my opinion this approach is very reasonable
不過，很可惜，我暫時仍未聽到當局有任何想法，所以我才會嘗試解釋這是從立法的大方向來考慮。
But unfortunately so far I have not heard the authorities indicate their views . This is why I have been trying to explain my proposal taking into consideration the legislative intent
此外，我亦留意到一些其他問題，包括同事直接提述的問題，例如由《公約》直接搬字過紙加入附則。
In addition I have also noticed some other issues highlighted by some colleagues including the direct reference approach of incorporating the Convention into the Annex
直接提述可以節省工夫，但卻有可能失去提出修訂的機會。
While making direct references can save efforts the opportunity to propose amendments may be missed
我們明白國際規例或公約當然是以英文為主，但香港是雙語社會，再加上我們的法例都是雙語的，所以我對於為何有關的附則沒有中文本感到很奇怪。
We understand that international regulations or conventions are normally written in English but Hong Kong is a bilingual society and our legislation is also bilingual I am thus very surprised to learn that the Annex does not have a Chinese version
主席，整體而言，我認同香港的航運，特別有關貨櫃安全的部分應該訂有標準，而遵從《公約》更是我們的基本責任。
President on the whole I agree that standards must be set with regard to our maritime services particularly the safety of containers and it is our primary responsibility to comply with the Convention
很可惜，我們現已非常落後，在今天才追趕6年、7年甚至10年前的《公約》決議。
Unfortunately we have lagged far behind and we have to wait till today to catch up and comply with the resolutions on the Convention implemented six or seven or even ten years ago
至於實際操作方面，我很擔心在《條例草案》獲三讀通過後，海事處是否有能力跟進。
As for the actual operation I am greatly worried about the Marine Departments capability in following up the matter upon the passage of the Bill after its Third Reading
此外，我亦留意到第369AV章清楚列明量度的方法是總重量，所以一旦《條例草案》獲得通過，這種涉及總重量的驗證方式將與《條例草案》出現衝突。
Furthermore I also notice that gross weight is used for measurement as stated in Cap . 369AV . The inspection involving gross weight will run contrary to the Bill upon its passage
最後，我希望日後不要拖那麼多年才修訂法例，必須盡快提交立法會。
Last but not least I hope that in future the authorities will not procrastinate so many years to introduce legislative amendments and amendments should be introduced into the Legislative Council as soon as possible
我們作為國際航運中心應該與時並進，不要永遠追落後。
As an international maritime center Hong Kong should keep abreast of the times instead of having to catch up all the time
第1至12條。
Clauses 1 to 12
全體委員會已完成審議《2019年運貨貨櫃條例草案》的所有程序。
All the proceedings on the Freight Containers Safety Amendment Bill 2019 have been concluded in committee of the whole Council
我現在請運輸及房屋局局長答辯。
I now call upon the Secretary for Transport and Housing to reply
首先我很感謝各位議員支持《條例草案》，讓《條例草案》可以在今天恢復二讀辯論。
First of all I would like to thank Members for their support of the Bill which enables the resumption of the Second Reading on the Bill today
我亦感謝剛才所有發言的議員對《條例草案》的關注和意見。
I also wish to thank the Members for their concerns and views about the Bill just now
《條例草案》於2019年10月提交立法會首讀及二讀。
The Bill was first introduced to the Legislative Council for First and Second Reading in October 2019
為此，《條例草案》建議更新的規定包括加入堆碼能力有限的貨櫃所須符合的規格、訂立貨櫃安全測試的程序及規格，以及規定貨櫃"安全合格牌照"上須採用劃一計量詞彙。
To this end the new requirements proposed in the Bill include those on the specifications that containers with limited stacking capacity should meet and the Bill also prescribes new safety test procedures and specifications for freight containers as well as the standardization of the terms of physical measurement to be used on the safety approval plate SAP of freight containers
透過《條例草案》在本港實施的《公約》要求純屬技術性質。
The requirements of the Convention to be implemented in Hong Kong under the Bill are purely technical in nature
由於《公約》適用於世界各地不同的港口，行駛國際航線的遠洋貨櫃船業界已充分得悉最新的相關要求，並支持《條例草案》中的修訂建議。
Since the Convention is applicable to different ports in the world the operators of ocean - going freight container ships plying international shipping routes are fully aware of the latest requirements and they support the proposed amendments in the Bill
剛才亦有議員就《條例草案》提出意見和觀察，我的綜合回應如下： 有議員提及貨櫃安全，《公約》規定用於國際運輸的貨櫃須經由締約國的行政機關或代表該行政機關的認可機構根據安全要求進行審批。
Just now Members have put forwards their views and observations about the Bill I shall give a consolidated reply as below Some Members mentioned the safety of freight containers . Under the Convention any container used for international transport must be approved by the executive authorities of a Contracting Party to the Convention or the recognized organizations on behalf of the executive authorities in accordance with the relevant safety requirements
如果貨櫃符合《公約》訂明的結構安全規定和測試標準，行政機關或其獲授權人會批准生產商在貨櫃裝上"安全合格牌照"。
For a container which is in compliance with the structural safety requirements and testing standards as prescribed by the Convention the executive authorities or its recognized organizations will approve the affixing of an SAP to the container
該牌照表明貨櫃已通過某一締約國的審批，其他締約國應予承認。
The SAP indicates that the container has obtained the approval of a Contracting Party thus other Contracting Parties should acknowledge the approval
"安全合格牌照"旨在方便處理貨櫃的搬運、堆放或運輸程序的各相關單位， 例如貨櫃擁有人、船公司、各地監管機構等，都能即時知悉該貨櫃的安全和技術詳情。
The SAP seeks to enable all relevant parties involved in the lifting stacking or transport of containers such as container owners shipping companies and oversight authorities in various places to know the safety and technical details of the containers concerned
《條例草案》規定所有已獲發有效批准的貨櫃上須固定裝上"安全合格牌照"。
The Bill stipulates that all containers which have obtained valid approval must be affixed with an SAP
"安全合格牌照"需按照修訂《條例》附表2的規定標示指定的資訊，例如其批准證明、製造月份和年份、最大營運總質量及最大允許載荷等技術資訊。
Each SAP should contain a required set of information as prescribed in Schedule 2 of the Ordinance such as the proof of the approval the manufacturing date its maximum operating gross mass and maximum permissible payload and other technical data
