that the penalty for serious infractions of the proposed Law shall be the forfeiture of the vessel in which the infraction takes place.

can be drawn except one of

should not be limited to the

penalty of forfeiture (which

too severe

to be available) but should

be at liberty to impose fine proportioned to the magnitude of the offence.
