It shall be the duty of the owner and agent of every ship to furnish to the master thereof all plant and equipment necessary for compliance with any notification given under these regulations and to provide for the installation thereof, and the agent shall be entitled to recover from the owner all costs incurred by him in furnishing and installing such plant or equipment.

REGULATION 6.—CONVOY.

6 : 1. If the master of any ship under convoy wilfully disobeys any lawful signal, instruction, or command of the commander of the convoy, or without leave deserts the convoy, then, without prejudice to his liability under any other enactment, he commits an offence against these regulations.

7 : 3. It shall be a defence to any person charged with failing to comply with any direction given under the authority of these regulations and requiring the departure of a ship from any port in so far only as the offence alleged amounts to failure so to depart if he proves that for such departure a clearance was necessary and that he made application for a clearance with all due promptitude and that he was unable to obtain the necessary clearance.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
