1. The working-hours of the Department are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from
   Monday till Friday, and from 8 a.m. till noon on Saturdays, holidays excepted.
   Ships discharging or taking in cargo at any other time will be charged for extra
   labour at the full rates ruling at the port less 9d. per hour, which latter amount
   will be paid by the Department. Such rates shall be paid by the ship for each
   employee engaged by the Department at shunting, tallying, supervising, or in
   any way upon or in connection with the working of the ship.
2. Where request is made for labour to be provided at a certain time, but
   owing to rain or other cause work does not start at the time arranged, or when
   work has been stopped by rain or other cause and the men stand by at the
   request of the ship's owner or agent, the full time the men are standing by will
   be payable by the ship's owner or agent: Provided that when by any award
   prescribing the conditions of work of waterside workers it is provided that if
   workers are "ordered down" they shall be paid as for a minimum period of
   time, such period of time (computed as from the due time of commencement of
   the work) shall not be time for which payment shall be made in pursuance of
   the provisions of this paragraph when work is not commenced owing to weather
   conditions.
3. In the case of vessels loading or discharging cargo on a day in respect
   of which special rates are payable to the employees of the Department, owners
   or agents must pay such rates in full for all men engaged in connection with
   the working of the vessel, and an undertaking must in every case be given before
   the work is commenced that the payment will be made.
4. No vessel shall discharge or take in live-stock at any railway wharf on
   Sundays except in cases of extreme urgency, and the captain or agent of the
   vessel shall give the Stationmaster at the port at least two hours' notice in
   writing of the intention to load or discharge the stock, and must, before the
   loading or discharging is commenced, obtain the written consent of the Station-
   master thereto.
   TRANSHIPMENTS.
5. Bona fide transhipments from one vessel to another which pass over a
   railway wharf will be charged ordinary wharfage rates when received ex ship,
   and will be exempt from wharfage charge when being reshipped.
6. Except as otherwise provided, goods which are transhipped from one
   vessel to another lying at a railway wharf but which do not pass over the wharf
   will be charged half wharfage rates.
