(1) The Port Authority
will work the cranes, but will not supply nor accept any responsibility for
the safety of slings for lifting cargo out of or into vessels.
(2) The Port Authority
will supply a driver with each crane hired who will, as far as possible and
consistent with safety, be subject to and obey the instructions of the hirer,
his stevedore or agent, but the Port Authority shall not be liable for any
loss or damage whatever which may occur while such driver is operating the
crane during the period of hire, unless such loss or damage is proved to be
the direct result of wilful misconduct or wilful disobedience of any
reasonable order on the part of the driver.
