This legislation has been repealed.
(1) When an oil vessel
carrying inflammable liquid in bulk is at a wharf or jetty the boiler or
galley fires of such vessel shall not be alight from the time when the holds
or tanks are first opened for purposes of discharge unless the written
authority of the Station Master and also the Harbour Master is first obtained.
(2) The Master shall
not allow any furnace galley or other fires to be alight on board an oil
vessel when the same is at a wharf or jetty while running water for ballast or
other purposes into any tank, receptacle or enclosure on the vessel which has
contained inflammable liquid.
(3) While an oil
vessel is at a wharf or jetty no ballasting shall be allowed by the Master
thereof until he is so permitted in writing both by the Station Master and the
Harbor Master who acting in consultation together shall lay down the
conditions under which such work shall be carried out. Provided that where the
Harbour Master considers that as a measure of greater precaution certain
things should be done in compliance with this paragraph which in the opinion
of the Station Master are not necessary, the opinion of the Harbour Master
shall prevail and the things required by him to be done as aforesaid shall be
done accordingly.
