Discontinuance of granting licences

(1) The Harbour Master may at any time and for any period discontinue the granting of licences if it shall appear to him that there is a sufficient number of pilots to meet the requirements of shipping. (2) The power conferred by paragraph (1) of this regulation shall not be exercised unless a notice of the intention to exercise such power has been published in six consecutive issues in the Gazette. (3) As soon as the Harbour Master shall consider that it is again desirable to grant pilot’s licences he shall cause a notice to that effect to be published in the Gazette.
