obliterates, or suffers any person under his control to conceal, remove, alter, deface, or obliterate, any of the said marks, except in the event of the particulars thereby denoted being lawfully altered, or except for the purpose of escaping capture by an enemy, shall for each offence be liable to a fine not exceeding 500 dollars.
(4) If any of the marks required by this section are in any respect inaccurate so as to be likely to mislead, the owner or master of the ship shall be liable to a fine not exceeding 500 dollars.
(5) If a ship is so loaded as to submerge in salt water the centre of the disc indicating the load-line, the ship shall be deemed to be an unsafe ship within the meaning of the provisions contained in section 17, and such submersion shall be a reasonable and probable cause for the detention of the ship.
(6) The owner, agent, or master of a ship required to be marked with deck and load-lines, shall also, on clearing her, deliver to the Harbour Master a statement in writing of the distance in feet and inches between the centre of the disc and the upper edge of each of the lines indicating the position of the ship's deck which is above that centre. If default is made in delivering this statement in the case of any such ship, the Harbour Master may refuse to clear the ship.
(7) The Governor may appoint the Government Marine Surveyor or any other person specially selected by him for that purpose, to approve and certify on his behalf the position of any disc indicating the load-line and any alteration thereof, and may appoint fees to be taken in respect of any such approval or certificate.
(8) When a ship to which this section applies has been marked with a disc indicating the load-line, she shall be kept so marked until her next return to the Colony.
(9) In this section "amidships" means the middle of the length of the load water-line as measured from the fore side of the stem to the aft side of the stern-post.
Provided that this section shall not apply to any ship of a foreign country before a day to be notified in the Gazette, without prejudice, however, to the power of His Majesty previously to apply the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts relating to deck and load-lines to ships of any foreign country if the Government of that country so desire under the Merchant Shipping Acts, in which event this section shall apply forthwith to ships of such country.
