in containers on wharves or in sheds: —

master of every vessel intending to load from or to discharge on to any wharf
any quantity of inflammable liquid shall give at least twenty-four
hours’ notice of such intention on the form provided to the Manager.

no case shall any inflammable liquid be placed on any wharf or in any shed or
other part of the premises of the Port Authority without the written
permission of the Manager.
(c)
Inflammable liquid in containers shall not be discharged from any vessel
direct into railway wagons or other vehicles nor on to any wharf for the
subsequent loading up into vehicles, without the permission of the Manager. In
the former case, discharging shall not be commenced until the said wagons or
other vehicles are alongside the vessel ready to receive such cargo. In the
latter case, the discharge of such cargo shall be so regulated that at no time
shall a greater quantity be on any wharf than can be removed within one hour
with the means of transport available.
(d)
Inflammable liquid shall not be discharged from any vessel on to any wharf in
hours other than the ordinary working hours, except where such vessel is
discharging inflammable liquid directly into railway wagons or other vehicles
and the written permission of the Manager has been obtained extending the
hours of work and the time for delivery of such inflammable liquid off the
premises of the Port Authority to full daylight hours.
(e)
Inflammable liquid shall not be received upon any wharf for shipment except
during working hours and then only if the vessel about to take the same is
prepared to receive it.
(f)
Inflammable liquid shall not be handled or deposited upon any wharf or other
part of the premises of the Port Authority until notice boards bearing the
words: —
“NO SMOKING” — THIS VESSEL HANDLING
“INFLAMMABLE LIQUID”
have been erected in
such conspicuous positions as to be visible from every point of access to such
wharf or other part.
(g) When
inflammable liquid is upon any wharf or other part of the premises of the Port
Authority, no person shall have in his possession or under his control any
fire or means of ignition or light, other than any approved safety lamp,
within fifteen metres of such inflammable liquid.
(h)
The Port Authority will employ watchmen to supervise —
(a) the
discharge from a vessel of inflammable liquid;
(b) the
loading onto a vessel of inflammable liquid, unless the quantity does not
exceed 2 000 litres and is immediately placed aboard the vessel; or
(c) the
storage of any quantity of inflammable liquid, in excess of 200 litres, which
is permitted by the Manager, to accumulate on any wharf for shipment,
during the whole of
the time the inflammable liquid is handled or remains on any wharf or other
part of the premises of the Port Authority.
