(2) The Governor, and any person acting on his behalf, may, if it appears to him to be necessary in the public interest so to do, give directions for prohibiting or restricting the exhibition or operation of, or requiring the removal, alteration or concealment of, or the making of any variation in the mode of exhibiting or operating, any such light, buoy, beacon or other apparatus as aforesaid.
(3) If this regulation, or any direction given under this regulation, is contravened or not complied with in the case of any light, buoy, beacon or other apparatus, the person responsible for the maintenance of the light, buoy, beacon or apparatus, as the case may be, shall be guilty of an offence; and, in the case of a failure to comply with any such direction as aforesaid requiring the removal, alteration or concealment of any light, buoy, beacon or other apparatus, the Governor may (without prejudice to any proceedings which may be taken in respect of the offence) cause to be done all such work as may be necessary for securing compliance with the direction.
