The provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts, 1894 to 1988 of the United Kingdom [U.K. Acts], which limit the amount of the liability of the owners of docks and canals, and of harbour and conservancy authorities, apply for the purpose of limiting the liability of the Crown as the owner of any dock or canal, or as a harbour or conservancy authority, and all the relevant provisions of those Acts have effect in relation to the Crown accordingly.
In this section, the expressions "dock", "harbour", "owner", "harbour authority" and "conservancy authority" have respectively the same meanings as they have for the purposes of section 2 of the Merchant Shipping (Liability of Shipowners and Others) Act, 1900 of the United Kingdom [UK 1900 C 32).
In this section, references to the Crown include references to any Government department and to any officer of the Crown in that officer's capacity as such.
