Port Regulations (2017 Revision).
These Regulations provide rules for port operations, navigation in ports and other activities in ports, including the handling of dangerous goods, and prohibit the pollution of territorial waters and the atmosphere. They also require animals to be treated in a humane manner during loading and unloading and require vessels to keep at a safe distance from fishing vessels which are at anchor and display a white flag. Animals, when ashore or afloat in a port area and when being discharged or shipped, shall be treated in a humane manner and in accordance with veterinary practice. The Director may, in his or her discretion, refuse to land or ship animals if such landing or shipping would entail unnecessary suffering to any animal.
