Merchant Shipping Act · 1984 Revised Edition · Part VI
Official textFrom Attorney General's Chambers, unchanged
A court of investigation shall have the following further powers -
it may remove the master of any ship if that removal is shown to the satisfaction of the court by evidence on oath to be necessary. Such removal may be made upon the application of any owner of the ship or his agent, or of the consignee of the ship, or of any certificated mate, or of one-third or more of the crew of the ship;
it may appoint a new master instead of the one removed:
Provided that where the owner, agent or consig-nee of the ship is in Brunei, such an appointment shall not be made without the consent of that own-er, agent or consignee;
it may make such order as it thinks fit re-specting the costs of the investigation or any part thereof, and such order shall be enforced by the
Court in the same way as an order for costs in a
Court of a Magistrate.
