Cost of survey

If upon the survey of a ship under this Part she is reported to have been at the time of the survey, having regard to the nature of the service for which she was then intended, unfit to proceed to sea without serious danger to human life, the expenses incurred by the Harbour Master in respect of the survey shall be paid by the owner of the ship to the Harbour Master, and shall, without prejudice to any other remedy, be recoverable by suit or other proceeding by the Port Authority.
