Where grain is loaded on board any Cayman Islands ship, or is loaded within any port in the Islands on board any ship, all necessary and reasonable precautions shall be taken to prevent the grain from shifting, and if such precautions are not taken —
the owner or the master of the ship, or any agent of the owner who was charged with the loading, or with sending the ship to sea laden with the grain, commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of twenty thousand dollars; and
the ship shall be deemed, for the purposes of Part 11, to be unsafe by reason of improper loading.
Where a ship, having been loaded with grain outside the Islands without the taking of all necessary and reasonable precautions to prevent the grain from shifting, enters any port in the Islands so laden —
the owner or master of the ship commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of twenty thousand dollars; and
the ship shall be deemed, for the purposes of Part 11, to be unsafe by reason of improper loading.
No offence is committed under subsection (2) where the ship would not have entered any such port but for stress of weather or any other circumstance that neither the master, owner nor charterer, if any, could have prevented or forestalled.
