The owner or the master of any passenger ship must not carry or receive on board thereof, or on or in any part thereof, any number of passengers which, having regard to the time, occasion and circumstances of the case, is greater than the number allowed by the passenger ship’s safety certificate, and if the owner or master does so, the owner or master shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or to both.

The Director or the Port Master may detain any ship which has contravened subsection (1) for such period until the ship complies with the passenger ship’s safety certificate.
