82 .         Receipts, etc. for inwards cargo

        (1)         Where, under the provisions of these regulations, cargo has passed into the custody of the Port Authority, any receipt given by the Port Authority for that is as far as it purports to relate to the conditions of the cargo, based upon the outward appearance of the packages comprising the cargo and does not purport to relate to the weight or the contents of any package.

        (2)         Where, during the progress of discharge of any cargo, the Wharf Manager is in doubt as to the condition of any package or packages, it or they shall, at his direction, be placed in a situation apart from other cargo, pending examination, and the Port Authority tally of and receipt for that package or those packages shall be read as being that for a doubtful or damaged package, as the circumstances may require.

        (3)         Any package or packages dealt with under the provisions of subregulation (2) shall be opened and examined by the consignee, in the presence of the Wharf Manager and of the ship’s agent, as soon as possible after being landed, and the Port Authority is not responsible for the safe custody or the condition of that package or those packages or of their contents.

        (4)         In the event of the ship, by its agent, refusing to accept a receipt for any cargo given in terms of this regulation, that cargo shall forthwith be returned on board by the agent of the ship, and shall not be again landed, until it has been examined by the consignee, who shall take delivery direct from the ship.
