THE EARLY PORT The estuary of the River Liffey has been associated with the commerce of this island for very many centuries, and there is evidence that over 3,500 years ago gold and copper from the Wicklow Mountains were shipped to Britain and the Continent from landing places in Dublin bay. The development of shipping down the centuries brought problems in its train for the merchants and traders of Dublin whose chips required deeper water and better landing facilities than those which sufficed for the early traders. The difficulties were aggravated by the increasing danger to shipping using the estuary as a result of continuous silting and shoaling in the approaches. At the end of the 17th century there was no well-defined channel leading up to the city; instead the waters of the Liffey divided into various channels and mingled with those of the Dodder and the Tolka and the action of wind and tide set up everchanging bars and shoals, forming a serious hindrance to the navigation of the river. The only berthage at that time was at Merchants Quay and Wood Quay. Access by shipping further westwards was impeded by the only bridge across the river at that time which connected Church Street on the North bank with Bridge Street on the South. It was the practice of the City Corporation to make grants or leases of portions of the river bank on condition that the grantees or lessees built and maintained quay walls. Such persons in turn exacted compensation from shipping using the quay walls for the purpose of mooring and landing goods thereon. In 1708 a Committee of the Dublin Corporation was entrusted by Parliament with the responsibility of establishing a Ballast Office, and the duty of maintaining and developing the Port was vested in this Committee. The Committee (which was known as the Ballast Board) with the object of containing the river in a well-defined deep channel had, by 1786, constructed a large portion of the Great South Wall which runs from a point west of where O’Connell Bridge now stands to the Poolbeg Lighthouse, a distance of about miles. The Ballast Board was succeeded in 1786 by the Corporation for Preserving and Improving the Port of Dublin and this Corporation functioned until 1867. The works carried out by this Corporation included the completion of the Great South Wall, and the construction of what is known as the North Bull Wall so as to impound a great volume of water at high tide.

and the North Bull Lighthouse, scouring a passage through the bar. This scour cut its own channel and the water at the bar was deepened thereby over the years from 6 to 16 feet. Other works carried out were the building of the North and South Quays, and of the old Graving Dock and the Graving Slips. From 1810 the Corporation became responsible for the erection and maintenance of all lighthouses on the coasts of Ireland, but in 1867 this responsibility was transferred by Act of Parliament to a new body which was given the title of “Commissioners of Irish Lights”, while the Dublin Harbour Authority was reconstituted as the Dublin Port and Docks Board. Under the new Board the North and South Quays were rebuilt with deeper foundations; this provided greater depths of water alongside, so as to allow vessels to lie afloat at low water, and by 1913 all the old quays^ with the exception of Custom House Quay, had been replaced or reconstructed. In addition to the work of reconstruction, the Port Board was fully aware of the need to extend and expand accommodation for the rapidly increasing size of vessels using the Port, and the construction of the North Wall Extension between 1871 and 1884 provided berthage for overseas vessels with a depth of 23-ft. to 26-ft. on its northern side. The construction of Alexandra Quay between 1922 and 1935, and subsequently of the Ocean Pier, has with the North Wall Extension provided a deepwater tidal basin with 5,000 feet of berthage ranging from 23-ft. to 32-ft. at low water. In common with other Harbour Authorities in the State, the Board was re-constituted under the Harbours Act, 1946. It now consists of 23 members, as follows;— Five members elected by the Corporation of Dublin; four members elected by the Dublin Chamber of Commerce; two members elected by the National Executive of the Irish Livestock Trade; two members elected by the Federation of Irish Manufacturers; two members elected by the Dublin Council of Irish Unions; four members elected by Owners of vessels registered in the State; four members nominated by the Minister for Industry and Commerce. Members hold office for 5 years and the members of the present board will retire in 1960. The Chairman is elected at the Annual Meeting which takes place in October each year, and he holds office for 12 months, unless re-elected. In July, 1959, the functions of the Department of Industry and Commerce in relation to Harbour Authorities were transferred to the Department of Transport and Power. 17

THE PRESENT PORT The modern Port of Dublin extends from a bridge known as Rory O’Moore Bridge which crosses the River Liffey towards the western side of the city to a line drawn from Sutton on the north side of Dublin Bay to Dalkey on the south, and includes all harbours, piers, and creeks within those limits with the exception of the harbour of Dun Laoghaire (see general view on page 14). In contrast to the shallow and dangerous approaches of the early port, the depth on the Bar is now 23 ft. at low water and the approach channel to the quays and docks is well lighted and buoyed. The inner approach formed by the almost straight channel of the River Liffey, from the entrance between the Poolbeg and North Bull Lighthouses, is 800 ft. wide for its greater part as far west as the entrance to Alexandra Basin and a depth of 24 ft. at low water is maintained. The North Wall Extension, Alexandra Quay and Ocean Pier bounding Alexandra Basin, provide the main deepwater berthage of the port, totalling 5,000 ft. of berthage ranging from 23 ft. to 32 ft. at low water. In the north-west corner of Alexandra Basin are situated the Board’s Graving Docks and Graving Slips and the Liffey Dockyard Company’s Ship-building and Ship-repairing Yards. To the east of Ocean Pier is Alexandra Basin Extension in which are situated the oil jetties at which 2,200 ft. of deep-water berthage for tankers is available. The land to the north of Alexandra Basin and Alexandra Basin Extension, consisting of about 140 acres, has been reclaimed mainly by dumping within the retaining walls spoil dredged from the river channel and bar, and on this area are located oil storage installations, Grain Silos, Warehouses, Fertiliser Works, Timber Storage yards. Motor Car Assembly works and other industries. On the south side of the river are situated the Pigeon House and Ringsend generating stations of the Electricity Supply Board, the national electricity under taking. The Ringsend Station, which was completed in 1956 and can use either oil or coal as fuel, is situated beside a new deep-water quay known as South Bank Quay which with a depth alongside of 28 ft. at low water enables tankers to discharge direct into the Station’s storage tanks. Overhead conveyors are also provided for the discharge of coal for the Station. Westwards of the entrance to Alexandra Basin on the north side of the river, and the confluence of the River Dodder with the Liffey on the south side, the channel is quayed and navigable by seagoing vessels for nearly two miles to Butt Bridge in the heart of the city. There are entrances from the river channel to the three wet dock systems, (i.e. Custom House Docks, Spencer Dock and Grand Canal Docks). 19

The total length of quays available for shipping at the Port is 23,500 ft. of which 8,500 ft. is served by transit sheds. These sheds provide 360.000 sq. ft. of covered transit storage while open storage space amounting to nearly 500,000 sq. ft. is available on the quayside. Warehousing accommodation provided by the Board includes 1,170,000 square feet in the Port area with a further 145,000 square feet in the City area. Commercially owned warehousing companies can provide storage space for 94,000 tons of grain and cold storage space of 850,000 cu. ft. Cross-Channel Berths The berthage from Butt Bridge to North Wall Extension on the North side of the river and to the Grand Canal Dock entrance on the south side is used mainly by coastal shipping, and a number of the berths are allocated to the regular cross-channel passenger and cargo services (Picture on page 23). Looking eastwards from Butt Bridge, the first berth opposite the Custom House on the north side of the river is used by Messrs. Arthur Guinness for the loading and discharging of their own vessels engaged in the transport of stout to Liverpool and Manchester. Further east wards, two berths have been reconstructed east and west of the entrance to the Custom House Docks, providing berthage and transit shed accommodation for coastwise general cargo traffic, including regular services between Dublin and Bristol operated by the Bristol Steam Navigation Company. The British and Irish Steam Packet Company occupy the next section of the North Wall as far as the entrance to Spencer Dock, and from here the Liverpool passenger and cargo steamers sail and also the general cargo and livestock services to Liverpool, Manchester and Preston. East of the entrance to the Spencer Dock are the berths and transit sheds allocated to British Railways for their general cargo and livestock steamers to Holyhead. Traffic to Scotland is catered for by the Burns and Laird Lines whose passenger, general cargo and livestock steamers use the next section of the North Wall Quay. Between the Burns and Laird berth and the North Wall Extension is 1,000 ft. of open quayside which is available for discharge of coal and other cargoes All berthage on the North Quays, east of Spencer Dock, is served by railway connections enabling direct discharge of cargo from ship to railway wagon. On the south side of the river the open quayside berthage at George’s Quay is used mainly as additional accommodation for the Bristol steamers, while Messrs. Guinness also use the next section of quayside 25

at City Quay which however is mainly used for discharge of coal cargoes. Coastal vessels engaged in bringing scrap-iron from Dublin to the Haulbowline foundries near Cork, and returning with steel, are also accommodated at City Quay. The remainder of the South Quay is known as Sir John Rogerson'^s Quay, and the most westerly section is allocated to the British and Irish Steampacket Company (who are the Dublin Agents) for Coast Lines steamers on the Dublin, Cardiff, Swansea and London trade. The berth is also used during the summer holiday season by the Isle of Man passenger steamers. The remainder of Sir John Rogerson’s Quay is used for various kinds of traffic, both coastwise and foreign. Berthage in the wet docks is used mainly for discharge of coal cargoes at wharves allocated to various coal importers. Alexandra Basin containing 47 acres of water provides the main deepwater berthage of the Port (see page 28). On its northern side it is bounded mainly by Alexandra Quay which is 1,240 ft. long and has a depth alongside at l.w. of 32 ft. This quay is provided with a double and a single storey transit shed, eight 4-ton electric cranes, one 6-ton crane, and a modern pneumatic grain discharge plant. Ample open storage space for timber cargoes is available and the quay is served by rail connections. Ocean Pier which is in effect an extension in a south-easterly direction of Alexandra Quay and bounds the eastern side of Alexandra Basin, has 1,372 ft. of berthage with 32 ft. depth at l.w. alongside. (Pictures appear on page 34). The southern and eastern sides of Ocean Pier, when completed, will give a further 1,267 ft. of berthage with a depth of 32 ft. alongside. There are seven 4-ton cranes and one 10-ton crane on Ocean Pier (west side), and a special transit shed has been built for>the accommodation of hazardous cargoes such as jute, cotton, etc. At the north-eastern corner of Ocean Pier a new Ferry Ramp and berth have been constructed to accommodate ferry trailer ships. A new quay 1,200 ft. long extending from the Ferry Ramp to the Western Oil Jetty is under construction to cater for the discharge of timber cargoes. Adjacent to the new quay wall will be ample open storage to facilitate I sorting and tallying. Two new transit sheds have been erected at Ocean Pier and two more are in course of erection. These new sheds are a departure from the traditional type of brick and concrete transit shed in that they are constructed from the framework of two dismantled aircraft hangars, each hangar being erected as two separate sheds. Each transit shed 27

measures 115 feet in length with 121 feet clear span, and a minimum of 25 feet clear head room, the interior being unimpeded by pillars or other internal roof supports. North Wall Extension (Page 36) bounds the Alexandra Basin on its south side and provides on the Alexandra Basin side 2,690 ft. of berthage with a depth of from 24 to 26 ft. at l.w. On the riverside of the Extension there is 2,240 ft. of berthage with a depth of 22 ft. at l.w. alongside. Facilities at North Wall Extension include two double storey and three single storey transit sheds, rail connections to all berths, and twentyone 4-ton cranes, eleven of which are on the Riverside and can also operate on the North Wall to the west of the Extension. A notable landmark in the Port, the 100-ton crane, is situated at the east end of the North Wall Extension. Graving Docks The Board’s two Graving Docks are situated to the west of Alexandra Quay. The larger of the two docks was officially opened by the President of Ireland in June, 1957, and cost one and a quarter million pounds. It is 663 ft. overall in length and SO ft. wide at its entrance, can accommodate vessels up to 20,000 tons deadweight, and is equipped with a 25-ton crane. The smaller dock is 412 ft. overall in length and 70 ft. wide at its entrance and is equipped with a 6-ton crane. Two patent graving slips are provided for small vessels; No. 1 slip has a cradle 76 ft. long capable of taking vessels up to 200 tons displacement and No. 2 slip, with a cradle 106 ft. long, can accommodate vessels up to 900 tons displacement. Two smaller drydocks, 163 ft. and 100 ft. in length respectively, owned by Coras lompair Eireann and leased to the Ringsend Dockyard Limited, are situated in the Grand Canal Docks at Ringsend. Oil Zone On the reclaimed land to the North of Alexandra Basin Extension, the Board has created an Oil Zone of about 40 acres on which sites have been leased to the major oil companies, and also to Coras lompair Eireann for new oil storage installations. The present oil storage capacity of the Port is about fifty million gallons. In addition to ordinary oil storage accommodation provision has been made for handling bulk bitumen and liquified petroleum gas cargoes. Oil Jetties As part of the Oil Zone development scheme the Board has constructed 33

two finger-type jetties, south of the new storage area, for the berthage of tankers. These new jetties provide 2,200 ft. of berthage with a depth of 34 ft. at l.w. for ocean tankers and a further 680 ft. with 21 ft. depth alongside for coastal vessels. The equipment of the jetties will include common user oil pipelines and hose handling gear. Fire precautions at the Oil Zone and Oil Jetties include modern foam fire-fighting equipment and oil booms, and a modern fire alarm system has been installed. Common User Pipeline Scheme (Page 42). When completed this scheme will provide three 10", two 8" and two 6" pipelines at the Eastern Oil Jetty, and six 10", one 8"^ and two 6" pipelines at the Western Jetty. By means of a system of pumps, valves and junctions, the cargoes of tankers berthed at the oil jetties can be pumped through these pipelines to the storage installations of any of the Oil Companies. Grain Discharging Plant (See picture on page 49). A modern pneumatic discharge plant at Alexandra Quay, owned by the Merchants’ Warehousing Company Limited, enables bulk grain cargoes to be discharged from ships’ holds by suction pipes and thence by means of overhead conveyors to the Company’s nearby grain silos at a rate of 225 tons per hour. Warehousing (Pages 50, 52, 57, 58 and 61). The Board maintains as an auxiliary service to the Port a warehousing department which has its headquarters in the Custom House Docks, and is the largest warehousing organisation in the country. Almost all the tea and tobacco consumed in the country, and a large proportion of the wines and spirits, are warehoused by the Board. In addition to the main service of storage, the Department provides additional services including sorting, weighing, blending, gauging, racking, bottling, packing, etc., and has a modern motor transport fleet for speedy collection and delivery of goods warehoused. A 4-storey warehouse, known as Stack D and situated between Alexandra Quay and Alexandra Road, provides almost six acres of ware housing space close to deepwater berthage. A new warehouse, known as Stack ‘L’ and situated in the Custom House Docks premises, was completed in 1958. It provides 3 acres of storage which would for example enable 20,000 casks of tobacco to be warehoused under bond. Ferry Ramp Two outstanding features of modern sea transport have been the development of the container system and of the “roll on—roll off’’ ferryship. Together they enable goods to be transported on lorries or trailers from consignor to consignee without intermediate handling. A new ferry 39

Board is also the Pilotage Authority for the Dublin Pilotage District which extends from Bray Head to the buoy on the south side of the Kish Bank and from thence to the Kish Lightship and from thence to Ireland’s Eye, and within which area pilotage is compulsory. The service is maintained by twenty-one pilots using two pilot steamers, one of which is on station at a time. Pilots are transferred to incoming vessels and landed from outgoing vessels by motor launches of which the Service has four. The pilot steamers are equipped with radio telephony enabling com munication to be maintained with shipping and also with the Harbour Master and Pilot Superintendent’s Office ashore. (Picture on page 70 shows the pilot steamer, “Inis Fail’’). Oil Bunkering Barge Considerable saving in a vessel’s turn-round time in port can be effected if she can take on bunkers while discharging or loading her cargo. At Dublin, oil bunkers can be taken aboard in any part of the port from the Board’s bunkering barge “Cor lasc” (page 72) which has a capacity of 300 tons and can pump 100 tons of oil fuel per hour. Railway Connections (Page 73 and 74). Movement of railway wagons from the railway marshalling yards to the quays is effected by tow-motors, while shunting alongside berths is done mainly by electric capstans. Livestock Yards Accommodation provided by Shipping Companies for Livestock await ing shipment from the Port consists of detention yards with a capacity of 4,500 cattle and 2,500 sheep, and overnight lairage accommodation for 250 cattle (See page 75). Shipbuilding Shipbuilding at Dublin was carried on in intermittent fashion prior to 1900 but, with the setting up of the Dublin Dockyard in 1901, the industry became a very important part of the Port’s activities, and in the 20 years from 1901 to 1921 this Company built 112 ships. A further 57 vessels were built between 1924 and 1937 by the successors to the Dublin Dockyard, Messrs. Vickers (Ireland) Ltd. In 1940, the Liffey Dockyard Co. took over the dockyard and was engaged mainly in the business of ship-repairing during the first 10 years of its existence. In 1952, the launching by the Liffey Dockyard Company of a new tender for the Commissioners of Irish Lights, “Isolda”, marked the re-birth of shipbuilding at Dublin, and eight further vessels have since been launched by this Company, of which the most recent was the m.v. “Meath”, a 1,400 ton livestock and general cargo vessel for the British and Irish Steam Packet Co. Ltd. (See picture on page 76). 55

Graving Slip ” means either of the Graving Slips of the Board situate respectively at Alexandra Basin aforesaid and shall also include any new or additional Graving Slip or Graving Slips belonging to or provided by the Board for the repair or survey of vessels.

The following Bye-Laws shall take effect from the First day of October, 1944. All Regulations or Bye-Laws previously made by the Board and applicable to any Graving Dock or Graving Slip shall cease to have effect, and the same are hereby rescinded, as of midnight on the 30th day of September, 1944, save that such Regulations or Bye-Laws shall be deemed to continue to apply to any vessel which has been admitted to a Graving Dock or Graving Slip on or prior to the said 30th day of September, 1944, but only until such vessel leaves the Graving Dock or Graving Slip as the case may be. 2. There shall be payable by the Owner of every vessel making use of a Graving Dock or Graving Slip the dues and charges set forth in the Second Schedule hereto, or such other dues and charges as may from time to time be in force. 3. Before the admission of any vessel (other than a vessel belonging to or in the
employment of the Board) to a Graving Dock or Graving Slip, the following steps shall be taken and the following formalities and directions observed:__ (a) The Owner of the said vessel shall sign an Application in the form contained in the First Schedule hereto, and shall [inter alia) in the said Application or in Conditions to be attached thereto, undertake to pay such rates as aforesaid and as may be applicable to such vessel. Such Application shall be in the form set forth in the First Schedule ihereto, but may contain any reasonable variations or additions as may be required to meet any particular circumstances and which may be mutually agreed. (b) At the time of or immediately after signing such Application the Owner shall pay to the Board a sum equal in amount to the minimum charge specified in the Second Sthedule hereto for the use of such Graving Dock or Graving Slip for which application is made. Such sum shall be treated as a payment on account of the amount which is finally ascertained to be due in respect of the user of the said Graving Dock or Graving Slip, as the case may be. If the said vessel does not take her turn when the Graving Dock or Graving Slip for which the application has been made is ready to receive her, the sum so paid on account and the turn shall be forfeited, unless on receipt of a report in writing from the Harbour Master the Board is satisfied that the forfeiture of either or both can justly be excused and so orders or directs accordingly. (c) An Application shall not be made for a Graving Dock or Graving Slip for a date more than one calendar month from the date of such Application. 4. Vessels for which applications have been duly made for admission to a Graving Dock or Graving Slip shall be admitted in a priority governed by the date and order of their respective applications. Applicants are not entitled to make any exchange of their respective turns unless the consent in writing of the Harbour Master and of the Owners of every other vessel affected by such proposed exchange be previously ob tained and delivered to the Harbour Master. 5. Vessels belonging to, or in the employment of the Board shall have priority over other vessels in the use of any Graving Dock or Graving Slip. 6. [a) If, when any vessel, whose turn it is for admission, is being or has been admitted to a Graving Dock or Graving Slip, there shall be or remain sufficient space to permit of the admission of a second vessel, the Harbour Master shall have power, at his sole discretion, to order that the next vessel due for admission whose dimensions shall permit of that being done, and whose Owner shall so consent, shall be admitted to such Graving Dock or Graving Slip. (b) In any case in which the Harbour Master exercises the power given to him under paragraph (a) of this Bye-Law, of admitting a second vessel to a Graving Dock or Graving Slip, the expenses of floating and re-shoring, or scuttling, either vessel to permit of the admission or exit of the other vessel, and (where a Graving Slip Is concerned) the expenses of removal or replacement of cradles, shall (subject as here inafter mentioned) be borne by the Owner of sitch second vessel. If, however, at the time of the admission of such second vessel, the vessel already admitted has been in occupation for a period exceeding the estimated number of tides specified in the Application relating to her admission, such expenses as aforesaid shall be borne by the owners of each of the said vessels in such shares and proportions as they may
agree in writing. In default of such agreement being reached, and communicated to the Harbour Master prior to the admission of such second vessel, the Harbour Master shall direct in writing whether the said expenses shall be borne, wholly by one or other of such vessels, or shall be shared ^between them and in what proportions, and the decision of the Harbour Master shall be final. 7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Bye-Laws, where any vessel is, in the judgment of the Harbour Master, in such a condition as to render her immediate admission to a Graving Dock or Graving Slip necessary for the purposes of her preservation from loss or .serious damage, the Harbour Master may, on the application of her Owner, permit such vessel to be admitted to a Graving Dock or Graving Slip, as the case may be, in priority to all other vessels waiting their turn. A vessel receiving priority by virtue of this Bye-Law shall, however, only be permitted to remain in the Graving Dock or on the Graving Slip while temporary repairs are effected sufficient to put her into a fit condition to await in safety her turn for more extensive repairs, for which it will be necessary that an application be made by her Owner. 8. No steam or motor vessel under 400 tons net register, or sailing vessel under 250 tons net register, will be admitted into a Graving Dock when there is room on a Graving Slip. 9. The hours for docking or undocking, slipping or unslipping, vessels shall be those from sunrise to sunset. Outside these hours the Board may make such additional charges as may be agreed with the Owner. 10. All vessels docking or slipping shall be squared up at the entrance or approach to the Graving Dock or Graving Slip, at least one hour before time of high water on the tide on which they are to be admitted, and shall be properly and sufficiently manned and equipped to the reasonable satisfaction of the Harbour Master. Masters and Crews of vessels docking or slipping, or undocking or unslipping, shall stand by as ordered by the Harbour Master. 11. Notice in writing must be given to the Harbour Master if any ballast, coal, or other weighty substances have been shifted during the time a vessel has been in the Graving Dock or upon the Graving Slip, whith may alter her draft or affect her stability when re-floated. 12. The Owner of any vessel will be chargeable for the entire period during which such vessel remains in a Graving Dock or on a Graving Slip from whatever cause her detention may arise. Nevertheless in any case where the Harbour Master makes a report in writing to the Board as to the causes of such detention, and the Board is satisfied from such report that the detention of such vessel has not in any way been caused or contributed to by any neglect, delay, default, or action on the part of her owners or the contractors, or of any persons in the employment of her owners or the contractors, the Board may if they so think fit make an order for the remission of any dues or charges incurred by the said vessel or of any part of such dues or charges. 13. No charge shall be made for the occupation or use of a Graving Dock or Graving Slip by any vessel in respect of the first Sunday upon which the same shall be occupied or used by such vessel, unless work shall be done to the said vessel upon such Sunday.
14. In addition to all sums which may be chargeable for the use of a Graving Dock or Graving Slip, the Board may make a reasonable charge in respect of any gear, equipment or appliance supplied by them for the use of the vessel occupying such Graving Dock or Graving Slip. A reasonable charge may also be made by the Board in respect of any extra pumping rendered necessary through a vessel emptying or filling her tanks whilst in a Graving Dock. 15. The Harbour Master may fix the hours at which any person may enter and must leave a Graving Dock or Graving Slip or the vicinity of such Graving Dock or Graving Slip, and may from time to time vary such hours as he thinks fit. Any person neglecting or refusing to observe such regulations shall be deemed to be guilty of an offence against these Bye-Laws. 16. The Master of any vessel in a Graving Dock or on a Graving Slip shall ibe responsible to take such precautions as will successfully ensure that no rubbish, ballast, cargo, or other matter shall be put out of such vessel without the consent of the Harbour Master. 17. No person shall heat any pitch, tar, turpentine, or other combustible, or light any fire in the vicinity of a Graving Dock or Graving Slip, save subject to such con ditions, at such places and during such hours, as are from time to time approved by the Harbour Master. 18. Where a passenger gangway is supplied by the Board for communication with the shore for workmen or other authorised persons, such gangway shall be under the control of the Master of the vessel or other person in, charge of such vessel, and must not be used for any other purpose or for the passage of any gear or machinery. 19. No person shall remove or use any block, shore, stage, pole, or plank, or other article belonging to the Board without permission from the Harbour Master. 20. No vessel shall be fumigated in a Graving Dock or on a Graving Slip with out permission in writing of the Harbour Master, and the Owner or Contractor of any vessel which has carried any tar, petroleum, oil, inflammable fluid or substance in any form, whether as cargo or part of her cargo, or for bunkers, shall, before she is admitted to a Graving Dock or Graving Slip, obtain and produce to the Harbour Master a certificate in writing from a competent analytical chemist certifying that the tanks and the vessel are free from gases or from dangerous, inflammable, or explosive fumes. 21. Any person neglecting or refusing to comply with any of these Bye-Laws may by order of the Harbour Master be excluded from work upon any vessel in a Graving Dock or on a Graving Slip, without prejudice to the recovery of any penalty from such person under these Bye-Laws, or any other remedy against him. 22. Every person committing any offence against any of the foregoing Bye-Laws, numbered respectively 15 to 20 (both inclusive) shall, in respect of every offence so committed, ibe liable to a penalty not exceeding Five Pounds.
