determining that the terms of any approval, licence, consent, direction or exemption given by virtue of this Act and the regulations are complied with.
In exercising the powers conferred by subsection (1), a surveyor of ships may —
require the owner, master or any of the crew to produce the relevant official log book or other documents relating to the crew or any member of the crew in their possession or control;
require the master to produce a list of all persons on board the ship and take copies of the official log book or other documents;
muster the crew;
examine any part of the ship;
require any test or operation of the ship's machinery and equipment; or
require the conduct of any drill required by this Act and the regulations, as the surveyor of ships thinks necessary for the exercising those powers.
The powers conferred by subsections (1) and (2) are, if the ship is a Cayman Islands ship, also exercisable outside the Islands.
A surveyor of ships exercising powers under this section shall not unnecessarily detain or delay a ship but may, if it seems reasonable to the surveyor of ships, require a ship to be taken into dock for a survey of the ship or its machinery and equipment.
