and all other charges incurred in respect of cargo discharged out of vessels
shall become payable immediately the cargo has been landed and the consignee

Authority, first present an order from the master or agent of the vessel
discharging the cargo requesting the Port Authority to release all goods
described therein.
[(2) Deleted.]
(3) Cargo will not be
delivered from any shed or wharf to any consignee or owner until the written
