The master of any vessel coming alongside any of the wharves shall be responsible for the proper and safe berthing of his vessel, and the master and owner shall be responsible for any damage done to any of the wharves in connection with that vessel. The Council may repair any such damage and charge the cost of doing so against the master or owner of the vessel doing the damage, and that cost may be recovered by the Council from the master or owner by action in any court of competent jurisdiction.
6 Directions as to berthing
When 2 vessels are expecting to berth at any of the wharves at the same tide, the wharfinger, or any officer, authorised by the Council to do so, shall direct the master of each vessel where his vessel is to be berthed, and any master failing to carry out those directions commits a breach of this order.
7 Cleaning wharves
Before any vessel is removed from any of the wharves, the master shall cause all dirt and rubbish to be thoroughly cleared from the portion of the wharf occupied by that vessel, and deposited how and where directed by any person authorised by the Council so to direct the master.
8 Discharging ballast
The master of every vessel discharging ballast at any of the wharves shall have all such ballast taken away and deposited above high-water mark, or at such place as may be approved by the Minister of Transport or by any person appointed by the Minister for that purpose.
9 Animals on wharves
No person shall permit any animals to remain on any of the wharves at any time longer than is actually necessary for loading or unloading the same.
10 Dangerous goods on wharves
The owner, or consignee, or the agent of the owner or consignee, of any explosives, kerosene, motor spirits, fuel oil, or goods of a dangerous or flammable character landed on any of the wharves shall cause the same to be removed from the wharf immediately on being landed, and any owner, consignee, or agent failing to do so shall be responsible for any damage or loss that may accrue from any accident arising therefrom in addition to any penalty for the default.
11 Goods landed on wharves
All goods landed at any of the wharves shall be so landed at the shipper’s own risk, and the Council shall be under no responsibility to deliver the same to the consignee.
12 Goods on wharves for shipment
Any goods placed on any of the wharves for shipment shall be placed there at the consignor’s own risk, and the consignor shall be solely responsible for the safety of the goods until accepted by the master, owner, or agent of the vessel by which they are to be shipped.
13 Making fast and lying alongside
No person shall make fast any boat to any steps or landing place or so near thereto as to obstruct the approach of other vessels, nor shall any person permit any boat to lie longer alongside than is required for landing passengers.

If in breach of this clause any person obstructs or impedes ingress or egress as aforesaid, and does not, upon being ordered so to do by the wharfinger, remove the obstruction, then, irrespective of the penalty to which that person is liable for the obstruction, the wharfinger may remove, cast off, or cut any such obstruction, and the Council may recover the cost of so doing from that person.
18 Powers of wharfinger
The wharfinger shall have power, on the authority of the chairman of the Council, to close the wharves, or any portion of them whenever in his opinion it is advisable to do so, and no person shall enter upon the wharves or portion of them so closed without the consent of the wharfinger.
19 Claims against Council
No person shall be entitled to claim against the Council for the loss of any goods landed or placed on any of the wharves or in any wharf shed, but nothing in this clause shall be deemed to relieve the Council from liability for negligence on the part of any servant of the Council acting within the scope and in the course of his employment.
