On such vessel entering the port, and so long as the vessel remains in port with more than 2,000 gallons of petroleum on board the master shall, between sunrise and sunset, display at the masthead a red flag of not less size than 24 in. square, and shall, between sunset and sunrise, when his vessel is at anchor, display at the masthead a red light; and whilst the vessel is berthed at any wharf use a red light for his gangway lamp.”

“Where other cargo is carried in the same hold with petroleum, it shall be stowed in such manner as to avoid damaging the receptacles containing the petroleum.”

No person shall take a steam locomotive moving by its own power into the vicinity of a vessel loading or discharging petroleum, or down or up a wharf at which such a vessel is lying, whilst she is engaged in loading or discharging petroleum, unless each locomotive is fitted with effective spark-arresters.

11B. No person shall couple a wagon containing petroleum directly on to a locomotive, but shall put at least two wagons which do not contain petroleum between them.

12A. The Minister may, if he thinks fit, and upon such conditions (if any) as he thinks fit to impose, suspend the operation of any of these regulations, either generally or only so far as vessels of any specified class or size are concerned.

12B. On the annual survey of a ship the Surveyor of Ships shall, if required by the master or owner to do so, issue a certificate as to the vessel’s fitness to carry petroleum. Such certificate shall be issued subject to the condition that it may be withdrawn at any time if the Minister or Surveyor deems it necessary to do so.
