Article 4 Limits of jurisdiction

The area within which the Company shall exercise jurisdiction as a harbour authority and within which the powers of its Dockmaster shall be exercised shall comprise the jetty premises together with so much of the river as is within the area of water adjacent to those premises and which is bounded by an imaginary line 100 metres from the jetty premises.

The jurisdiction of the Company as a harbour authority and the powers of its Dockmaster conferred under or by virtue of the Humber Sea Terminal Orders 1994 to 2006 shall be exercised only in relation to vessels going to, moored at or departing from the jetty premises and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, shall not be exercised in relation to any vessel navigating or at anchor in the river unless any such vessel is obstructing the approaches to the works.

In case of conflict between any direction given by the Harbour Master and any direction given by the Dockmaster of the Company, the direction of the Harbour Master shall prevail.
