Article 13 Identity of Master

The owner of a vessel which has been at any time within the Port must, on written notice to them by the harbour master, give to the harbour master in writing all information in their power as to the person who at that time was the master of the vessel. Any owner refusing to give such information or by their own negligence or default being unable to give the name and address of such person is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.

In any proceedings relating to the vessel or its master the written information given pursuant to paragraph (1) is to be admissible as evidence for the purpose of determining the identity of the master of the vessel at a particular time.
