HARBOURS, DOCKS, AND PIERS CLAUSES ACT 1847 - SECT 58

Powers of harbour master as to mooring of vessels in harbour.

58. If the master of any vessel in or at the harbour, dock, or pier, or within
the prescribed limits, if any, shall not moor, unmoor, place, or remove the
same according to the directions of the harbour master, or if there be no
person on board of any such vessel to attend to such directions,
the harbour master may cause such vessel to be moored, unmoored, placed, or
removed as he shall think fit, within or at the harbour, dock, or pier, or
within the prescribed limits, and for that purpose the harbour master may cast
off, unloose, or cut the rope, or unshackle or break the chain, by which any
such vessel is moored or fastened; and all expences attending the mooring,
unmooring, placing, or removing of such vessel shall be paid to
the undertakers by the master of such vessel: Provided always, that before
the harbour master shall unloose or cut any rope, or unshackle or break any
chain, by which any vessel without any person on board to protect the same
shall be moored or fastened, he shall cause a sufficient number of persons to
be put on board of such vessel for the protection of the same.
