Clause 7

No vessel, outside the port, shall remain in any river, canal or creek for a longer time than is reasonably necessary for loading or unloading, and in no case between the hours of 7.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m. if it has on board as cargo, whether for transport or storage, any Class A petroleum.

No vessel, outside the port, shall remain in any river, canal or creek for a longer time than is reasonably necessary for loading or unloading if it has on board, either as cargo or otherwise, more than the quantum of Class B petroleum that may be transported without a licence as prescribed in regulations made under this Act.

This section shall not apply to vessels, the propelling power of which is obtained by Class A or Class C petroleum, if the receptacles for the storage of such Class A or Class C petroleum are of an approved or accepted construction.

Any person who contravenes the provisions of subsections (1), (2) and (3) of this section shall be guilty of an offence under this Act and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars.
