This legislation has been repealed.
When an oil vessel is
at a wharf or jetty and while pumping of inflammable liquid is in progress the
Master of the vessel shall take measures to ensure that the lids, screw caps
or other removable coverings of the tanks are kept securely fastened or
screwed down except so far as may be necessary to enable the discharge of the
inflammable liquid to proceed, but in such case the Master shall take measures
to ensure that immediately upon the removal of any lid, screw cap, or other
covering, safety wire gauzes are properly fitted or other efficient steps are
taken to prevent the ignition of the inflammable liquid or vapour.
