Section 2
SEC. 2. The following rules and regulations are hereby prescribed for the government of any vessel, other than a vessel of the United States Navy, desiring to berth within the limits aforesaid: (a) Any such vessel shall first obtain permission to berth within said limits from the Captain of the Port of Manila, whose duty it shall be to notify the senior naval officer afloat at Cavite, addressing Commandant of Cavite Naval Station, of the approximate time of the arrival of said vessel at Cavite, giving the name and length of said vessel and her draft when loaded. (b) When by reason of stress of weather, or of any other urgent necessity, a vessel is compelled to enter Cavite Harbor without having had an opportunity to communicate with the Captain of the Port at Manila, she will take berth as hereinafter provided. (c) The supervisor of Cavite Harbor, so appointed by the admiral in command of the station, shall have charge of the berthing of all vessels, other than naval vessels, and the enforcement of the provisions of this Act. (d) It shall be the duty of the supervisor to see that all vessels entering Cavite Harbor shall be met by a steam launch or tug and directed to a proper berth, and all vessels so entering or changing from one berth to another shall do so in accordance with the direction of the supervisor. (e) Should any vessel entering Cavite Harbor for any reason, not be met and conducted to its berth as provided in the next preceding paragraph, it may anchor temporarily in any open berth, but is required to keep steam up ready to move, until such anchorage is confirmed or said vessel is directed to another berth. (f) All vessels are required to moor, if they are directed so to do, if the same be deemed advisable by the supervisor and he directs that the same be done. (g) All vessels shall have steam up and be ready to move during typhoon or other heavy weather. (h) The commanders of vessels and other persons or corporations are hereby forbidden to dump, or permit to be dumped, ashes or other refuse within the limits of Cavite Harbor. Lighters to remove such ashes or other refuse shall be provided by the supervisor of the harbor and shall be available at any time upon application to him, and he will fix and collect the charge the vessels shall pay for the service of removing such ashes or refuse, and such lighters may, except in bad weather, be called alongside by hoisting the international letter "L." When, owing to heavy weather or other causes, lighters can not come alongside the vessel, the ashes and refuse shall be retained on board until the weather moderates so that lighters can be put alongside, or until the vessel leaves the harbor limits. (i) Commanders or owners of vessels and all other persons or corporations fire forbidden to obstruct said harbor by sinking or permitting to be sunk obstructions of airy character, such as wrecks or lighters or other hindrances to navigation. All such wrecks or obstructions shall be removed by the supervisor at the expense of the officers, owners, agents, or masters of vessels immediately responsible for their presence in the harbor.
