MARINE INSPECTION
| 33. |
(1) |
The
Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner may, at such times and in such places
or
areas as may be appropriate appoint Marine Inspectors to board and
examine or inspect vessels. Marine Inspectors shall render a report with respect
to each such boarding to the Commissioner as required and to a Deputy
Commissioner in charge of marine inspection. |
|
(2) |
It is the
responsibility of owners and operators of vessels to present each such vessel
for boarding when required, and to cooperate fully with the Commissioner, Deputy
Commissioners and Marine Inspectors, particularly in enabling them to board and
examine or inspect each such vessel including any documents and equipment and
the use thereof. Failure to present a vessel for inspection prior to the due
date, failure to cooperate as above, or the existence of a condition on board in
violation of established requirements, may subject the vessel in question to
immediate detention and suspension of registration, in addition to any other
penalty. Such detention and suspension shall be cancelled upon satisfactory
completion of the inspection or examination and any required rectification. |
|
(3) |
It is the
duty of all holders of licenses of competence or other certification issued to
mariners under the Act or any Orders thereunder to cooperate fully with the
Commissioner, Deputy Commissioners and Marine Inspectors, particularly in
enabling them to board and examine or inspect vessels including any documents
and equipment and the use thereof. Failure of such cooperation on the part of
any holder of a license or certificate shall be a marine offence, and in
addition to any other penalty the Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner may
suspend or revoke the license or certificate of the
holder. |
|
(4) |
For the
purpose of funding marine inspections and matters related thereto, the owner of
a vessel registered under the Act shall with respect to each inspection
regularly due or otherwise required - |
|
|
(a) |
for each vessel of less
than 500 tons used solely commercial fishing, pay a fee of $350; and |
|
|
(b) |
for each other vessel
pay a fee of $725. |
|
(5) |
Vessels
required to be regularly inspected annually or more often will be invoiced
annually for fees in advance with respect to all regular inspections falling due
with a calendar year. When an inspection is required as a condition for the
issue of a document or certificate, the fee for such inspection shall be paid at
the time of issue of the document or certificate. The owner of a vessel boarded
under this Section shall pay incidental travel costs when the boarding officer
must travel outside his station area to reach the vessel; and if a boarding is
for the purpose of examining rectification of a deficiency, the owner of the
vessel so boarded shall pay all costs incidental thereto. |
