Article 42 Liens for charges

A person who by agreement with the Authority collects charges on its behalf and who pays or gives security for the payment of charges on goods in that person’s possession shall have a lien on those goods for the amount paid or security given in respect of the amount.

A wharfinger or carrier who is not liable for the payment of charges may pay or by agreement with the Authority give security for charges on goods in its custody, and in that event it shall have a like lien on the goods for the amount of those charges as it would have in respect of its charges for safe custody or carriage of the goods, as the case may be.
