PUBLIC TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 6th August, 1914.

1. THE Officer Commanding the Coast Defences directs that the following regulations be adhered to by the masters of all vessels entering or leaving the Ports of Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, and Otago from this date until such time as may be notified.

GEORGE ALLPORT,
Secretary.

ENTRANCE TO THE PORT.

Time of Arrival of Vessels.

2. SHIPOWNERS and shipping agents are advised to time the arrival of vessels so that they may arrive off the examination anchorage between sunrise and sunset. By so doing they will facilitate the entry of their vessels into port.

Notification of Time of Arrival.

3. Shipowners and shipping agents will notify the Chief Examining Officer, the Harbourmaster, in advance, the probable time of arrival and description of their vessels, in order to facilitate recognition by the Examining Officer.

Examination Steamer and Signals indicating whether Port is open or closed.

4. All vessels desirous of entering the port, with the exception of H.M. ships, fleet auxiliaries, and army transports, will proceed to the examination anchorage. Here they will be met by the examination steamer. This steamer may be recognized as follows:—

By Day.—A blue ensign, and at the foremost head the special pilot flag (white and red horizontal) surrounded by a blue border. When the port is closed, three red balls vertically in addition.

By Night.—Three lights vertically, 6 ft. apart, conspicuously displayed at the end of a yard so as to show an unbroken light round the horizon. When the port is closed these lights will be red; when it is open they will be white. In addition to the signals on the examination steamer, when the port is closed, similar signals will be shown at the signal-stations on Mount Victoria, Auckland; Beacon Hill, Wellington; Toloa (Adderley) Head, Lyttelton; and Taiaroa Head, Dunedin.

Examination Anchorages.

5. The examination anchorage is shown at the harbour-entrances of the above-named ports on the Admiralty Chart. While at this anchorage vessels will not communicate with the shore, lower any boat, or change their position without the permission of the Examining Officer.

Permission to proceed Inwards from the Examination Anchorage.

6. Vessels will not proceed in harbour from the examination anchorage until they have been boarded by the Examining Officer and given the special signal for the day or night. This signal is to be shown until the vessel is tied up at the wharf or anchored in the port.

Permission to proceed Outwards from the Examination Anchorage.

7. Vessels will not proceed outwards from the examination anchorage without receiving permission to do so from the Examining Officer. This, however, does not apply to those vessels which have been in port and are proceeding to sea with the permission of the detaining authorities (the Chief Customs Officer).

Pilotage.

8. Pilotage between the examination anchorage and the port is compulsory, except for H.M. ships, fleet auxiliaries, and army transports.

Port Dues.

9. Port dues will not be levied on vessels not proceeding inwards from the examination anchorage, provided that they have come there solely to give information regarding friendly or hostile warships and hostile merchantmen, and have made use of the port for no other purpose.

Entry of Tugs, Fishing-boats, &c.

10. Entry of tugs, launches, and fishing-boats unprovided with the means of making special signal: Such vessels will report to the examination steamer, who will signal to the examination battery. When an acknowledgment has been received, permission will be given by the Examining Officer for the above to enter the port.

Control of Movements in Port.

11. All movements within the port will be controlled by the officials of the above-mentioned Harbour Boards.

Warning re approaching H.M. Ships, &c.

12. Vessels or boats are forbidden to approach the following without the permission of the Officer Commanding the Coast Defences: H.M. ships, fleet auxiliaries, and army transports in port, forts and their electric-light stations. Disregard of this regulation will render the offending vessel or boat liable to be fired on without warning.

Regulation Lights.

13. All crafts are required to show the regulation lights by night.

VESSELS LEAVING PORT.

Permission to leave Port.

13. Permission to leave port must be obtained from the Detaining Officer, the Chief Customs Officer. This permission will take the form of the usual clearance certificate. Any vessel leaving the port without permission is liable to be fired on.

Amendments to Public Traffic Regulations.

15. Amendments to these regulations will be published, and they will be posted on a notice-board in the respective Harbour Board offices. Copies of such amendments will be sent to the shipping companies, offices, and agents.
