Article 13 Bunkering

The Authority may from time to time grant to a person with or without conditions a licence to carry out commercial refuelling activities related to vessels in the port.

Nothing in any licence granted under paragraph (1) shall entitle a person to carry out commercial refuelling activities from or on land not owned or leased by that person or by the Authority, without the consent of the owner of the land.

Any licence granted under paragraph (1) shall be valid for a period which may from time to time be considered appropriate by the Authority when granting the licence.

The Authority may charge for a licence granted under paragraph (1) such reasonable fee as the Authority may from time to time prescribe.

Any person who without reasonable excuse carries out or permits a commercial refuelling activity related to a vessel in the port except in accordance with a licence issued by the Authority under this article, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.
