Article 18 Directions as to loading or unloading of goodsI1

The Commissioners may designate any part of the harbour for the loading and unloading of any goods to which this article applies.

Where pursuant to paragraph (1) the Commissioners have designated a place for the loading or unloading of certain types of goods the harbourmaster may direct that such goods, intended to be loaded onboard or unloaded from a vessel, must not be deposited or received elsewhere than at the place so designated.

If any person disobeys a direction given under paragraph (2)—

The goods to which this article applies are goods which are loaded or unloaded in connection with any trade or business, goods in bulk and goods the nature or character of which is such as, in the opinion of the Commissioners, to give rise to special risk of contamination, taint, stain, injury or danger to other goods or to persons, property or water or to necessitate the provision of special facilities for the handling of the goods or for the safety, protection, welfare or accommodation of persons employed in, or in connection with, such handling.
