Dumping At Sea Act, 1981

Collection and application of fines.

7.—(1) Where a fine imposed on a person under this Act is not duly paid, the court may, without prejudice to any other powers for enforcing payment, direct the amount remaining unpaid to be levied by distress and sale of the vessel, aircraft or marine structure concerned and its tackle, furniture and apparel.

(2) Where it appears to a court imposing a fine that any person has incurred or will incur expense in removing any substance or material which has been dumped or in making good any damage attributable to the offence, the court may order the whole or part of the fine to be paid to that person for or towards defraying the expense.
