Duty of harbour authority to prevent danger to navigation in respect of works.
|
140.—(1) Where any works completed by a harbour authority or in course of construction, extension or repair by a harbour authority below the level of high water mark are so placed as to be dangerous to navigation or any works completed by a harbour authority have suffered such damage or decay as to be dangerous to navigation, it shall be the duty of the harbour authority, at or near the extremities of the works, to lay down and maintain such buoys, to exhibit and keep burning such lights and to do such other things to lessen danger to navigation as the general lighthouse authority may from time to time approve or direct under the subsequent provisions of this section.

(2) The general lighthouse authority may, on the application of the harbour authority concerned or without any such application, approve of means taken under this section to lessen danger to navigation in respect of any works, or may disapprove of such means, and may direct such harbour authority to take such other means for that purpose, in lieu of or in addition to the means already taken, as the general lighthouse authority think necessary or proper.
