[No. 7

7. No apparatus for wireless telegraphy on board a merchant ship shall be worked or used while such ship is in harbour, except as hereinafter provided or with the consent in writing of the Minister of Telegraphs.

(a.) When the ship is in any harbour of the Dominion of New Zealand, but not berthed—i.e., out of touch with the land-line telegraph system—the licensed apparatus may be used for the purpose of communicating, on minimum power, with the nearest coast station, or may be used in circumstances in which communication with the nearest coast station is impracticable, and where the interests of navigation would be facilitated thereby, to establish communication with a more distant coast station, or, if necessary, with another ship station.

(b.) In exceptional circumstances, such as the non-operation from any cause of the land-line telegraph system, when the ship is in any harbour of the Dominion of New Zealand and berthed therein, the licensed apparatus may be used to communicate with the nearest coast station on matters affecting the interests of navigation. When it is impractical to communicate with the nearest coast station, communication may be established with a more distant coast station, or, if necessary, with another ship station.
