Duties of owners and masters as to carrying life-saving appliances.

430.(1) In the case of any ship

(a)if the ship is required by the rules for life-saving appliances to be
provided with such appliances and proceeds on any voyage or excursion without
being so provided in accordance with the rules applicable to the ship; or

(b)if any of the appliances with which the ship is so provided are lost or
rendered unfit for service in the course of the voyage or excursion through
the wilful fault or negligence of the owner or master; or

(c)if the master wilfully neglects to replace or repair on the first
opportunity any such appliances lost or injured in the course of the voyage or
excursion; or

(d)if such appliances are not kept so as to be at all times fit and ready for
use;

[(e)if any provision of the rules for life-saving appliances applicable to the
ship is contravened or not complied with;]

(2) Nothing in the foregoing enactments with respect to life-saving appliances
shall prevent any person from being liable under any other provision of
this Act, or otherwise, to any other or higher fine or punishment than is
provided by those enactments, provided that a person shall not be punished
twice for the same offence.

(3) If the court before whom a person is charged with an offence punishable
under those enactments thinks that proceedings ought to be taken against him
for the offence under any other provision of this Act, or otherwise, the court
may adjourn the case to enable such proceedings to be taken.[
