TWO MORE ANCHORAGES
For Quarantine Purposes And Dangerous Goods
Two more anchorages are provided for shipping under the Merchant
Shipping (Control of Ports) (Amendment) (no. 3) Regulations 1972.
■
The regulations published in today's Gazette, were made by the
Governor in Council in exercise of the powers conferred by section 70 of
the Merchant Shipping Ordinance.
The anchorages are the Kellett Bank Quarantine and the Rocky
Harbour Dangerous Goods Anchorages.
A Government spokesman said today the additional quarantine anchorage
was required because the Western Quarantine Anchorage had been temporarily
closed following the wreck of the 'Seawise University' at its western end.
The additional dangerous goods anchorages would serve ocean-going
vessels which import explosives for use in connection with the High Island
Water Scheme, he added.
