Article 12 Lights on tidal works during construction

The Company shall at or near a tidal work during the whole time of the construction, alteration, enlargement, replacement, relaying or extension thereof exhibit every night from sunset to sunrise such lights, if any, and take such other steps for the prevention of danger to navigation as the Secretary of State after consulting the Commissioners shall from time to time direct.

If the Company fails to comply in any respect with a direction given under paragraph (1) above, it shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum and on conviction on indictment to a fine; but it shall be a defence for the Company to prove that all due diligence was used to secure compliance with the direction.
