(2) The fee in the case of a survey or periodical inspection for the issue, renewal or endorsement of a certificate shall cover the issue or endorsement of that certificate except in the case of the issue of a certificate pursuant to the Radio Rules where the survey for the purpose of such a certificate was performed abroad by a locally appointed surveyor. In such a case the work involved in the issue of the certificate shall be charged for separately at the hourly rate of £23 for fishing vessels and £26 for other ships.
