Section 5

No vessel having dangerous petroleum on board as cargo shall enter the limits of any port, except for the purpose of proceeding direct to the dangerous petroleum anchorage or to some place exempted from this section under section 26(2), without the permission previously obtained in writing of the Port Master.

The Port Master’s permit under this section shall contain such conditions as in the circumstances of the case appear to him to be reasonable, and shall state the hours during which the vessel may remain within the limits of the port.

The hours shall be such as permit of the dangerous petroleum being landed and stored before 7 p.m. of the day on which the vessel enters the limits of the port.

The master of a vessel that enters any port in contravention of this section, or commits a breach of the conditions of a permit, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine of $2,000 and the dangerous petroleum on board the vessel may be seized and forfeited.
