Breaking up of vessel. |
70.—(1) A vessel shall not be broken up within the limits of a harbour unless the harbour master of the harbour has given a written consent thereto. | |
(2) Where the harbour master of a harbour gives a written consent to the breaking up of a vessel, he shall specify in the consent a period during which the breaking up shall be completed. | ||
(3) If a person breaks up a vessel within the limits of a harbour without having obtained the written consent thereto of the harbour master of the harbour or, having obtained such consent, fails to complete the breaking up of the vessel within the period specified in that behalf in such consent, the harbour authority of the harbour may treat the vessel as a vessel laid up as unfit for sea service and apply accordingly the provisions of section 57 of this Act in respect of the vessel. |
