134. (1) All owners and masters of ships to which this Part applies shall comply with the Collision Convention and shall not carry or exhibit any other lights or use any fog signals other than those as are prescribed by that Convention.
Subsection (1) applies to the owners and pilots of seaplanes on the surface of water as it applies to the owners and masters of ships.
Where any section of this Part is contravened, the owner of the vessel, the master and any person for the time being responsible for the conduct of the vessel commits an offence, and —
is liable on summary conviction —
in the case of any infringement of Rule 10(b)(i) (duty to proceed with traffic flow in lanes of separation schemes) of the Collision Convention to a fine of one hundred thousand dollars; and
in any other case, to a fine of fifty thousand dollars; and
on conviction on indictment to a fine of one hundred thousand dollars or to imprisonment for a term of two years or to both.
It is a defence for a person charged under this Part to show that the person took all reasonable precautions to avoid the commission of the offence.
