Regulation 4

The owner or agent of a vessel who informs or represents to the Port Master or the Authority, whether personally or through any agent, that the person is the owner or agent of the vessel must inform the Port Master or the Authority, as the case may be, immediately of any change of ownership or agency that occurs while the vessel is in the port.

Where the owner or agent of a vessel fails to comply with paragraph (1), the owner or agent is liable, despite the change of ownership or agency, to pay to the Authority any dues, rates, charges and fees that an owner or agent of a vessel, as the case may be, is liable to pay under any written law until such time that the owner or agent informs the Authority of the change of ownership or agency.

Nothing in this regulation affects the liability of a new owner or agent to pay any dues, rates, charges and fees that an owner or agent of a vessel, as the case may be, is liable to pay under any written law but the Authority is not entitled to recover the same set of dues, rates, charges and fees twice.
