Clause 107

Where damage is done to any property of the Authority by any vessel or float of timber, the cost of making good the damage, including the expenses of any inspection or survey carried out by the Authority to ascertain such damage, may be recovered by the Authority as a debt from the master, owner or person in charge of the vessel or float of timber, as the case may be.

The Authority may detain any such vessel or float of timber until the costs of making good such damage and the expenses described in subsection (1) have been paid to the Authority or may require the master, owner or person in charge of the vessel or float of timber to deposit such sum of money or furnish such security as may be required by the Authority in order to meet such costs and expenses.
