Article 33 Liens for chargesI1

A person (“the relevant person”) who by agreement with the Commissioners collects charges on their behalf and who pays or gives security for the payment of charges on goods in possession of the relevant person shall have a lien on those goods for the amount paid or security given in respect of that amount.

A wharfinger or carrier who is not personally liable for the payment of charges on goods in their custody may pay or by agreement with the Commissioners give security for charges on those goods, in which case the wharfinger or carrier shall have a like lien on the goods for the amount of those charges as would have existed in respect of their charges for safe custody or carriage of the goods, as the case may be.
