Article 17 Provisions against danger to navigationI1

In the case of injury to, or destruction or decay of, a tidal work or any part of it the Agency must as soon as reasonably practicable notify Trinity House and A.B. Ports and lay down such buoys, exhibit such lights and take such other steps for preventing danger to navigation as Trinity House and A.B. Ports or (failing agreement between them) Trinity House may from time to time direct.

If the Agency fails to notify Trinity House and A.B. Ports as required by paragraph (1) or to comply with any requirement of a direction under it, the Agency is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
