The Chief Executive Officer may prepare and approve forms for any book, instrument or paper required under this Act and may alter such forms as the Chief Executive Officer thinks fit.
Before issuing any form or alteration in a form the Chief Executive Officer shall cause public notice thereof to be given in such manner as the Chief Executive Officer thinks requisite in order to avoid inconvenience.
Every such book, instrument or paper shall be made in the form, if any, approved by the Chief Executive Officer, or as near as circumstances permit; and, unless so made, shall not be admissible in evidence in any civil proceedings on the part of the owner or master of any ship.
Every such book, instrument or paper, if made in a form purporting to be the proper form in accordance with subsection (2), shall be deemed to be in the form required by this Act, unless the contrary is proved.
Subsections (1) to (4) do not apply where special provision is made by this Act.
A person who prints, sells or uses any document purporting to be a form approved by the Chief Executive Officer, knowing that the document is not the form approved for the time being or that the document has not been prepared or issued by the Chief Executive Officer, commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of two thousand dollars.
