NEW SHIPPING REGULATIONS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received .3, 11.15 p.m. London, September 5. The Board of Trade regulations, which will come into operation on January 1, provide for foreign-going passenger and cargo vessels being provided with sufficient lifeboat accommodation for all aboard.
