33. Clearance of vessels
(1) If a vessel does not satisfy, or the owner or master of a vessel has
contravened, this Act or any subsidiary enactment made under it, the Port
Master may refuse to grant an inwards or outwards clearance to the vessel
or to pass an entry for any cargo imported by the vessel until such contravention has been corrected to the Port Master’s satisfaction.
(2) Where the Port Master believes that any vessel is unfit to proceed to
sea, he shall delay his clearance and report the facts to the Director of Shipping for necessary action under the Merchant Shipping Act.
