Article 25 Deposit for charges

The Company may, if they think fit, require a person who incurs or is about to incur a charge to deposit with them, or to guarantee, such sum of money as is, in the opinion of the Company, reasonable having regard to the amount or probable amount of the charge.

Where such a person fails to deposit or guarantee the sum of money required the Company may detain in the harbour or on the harbour premises the vessel or goods in respect of which the charge has been or will be incurred, until the requirement has been complied with or the charge paid.
