s 7 Measures to facilitate wreck removal
7.—(1) Where a wreck has been determined by the Director to constitute a hazard, the Director must take all reasonable steps to give a notice requiring the registered owner of the ship involved in the maritime casualty resulting in the wreck to —(a) remove the wreck; and (b) provide evidence of insurance or other financial security as required by any regulations made under this Act. (2) The notice must be in writing and must —(a) specify a reasonable deadline within which the registered owner must remove the wreck, taking into account the nature of the hazard as determined by the Director; (b) specify that if the registered owner does not remove the wreck within that deadline, the Director may remove the wreck at the registered owner’s expense; and (c) state the Director’s intention to intervene immediately in circumstances where the hazard becomes particularly severe. (3) The notice may specify conditions as to the removal of the wreck to the extent necessary to ensure that the removal proceeds in a manner that is consistent with considerations of safety and protection of the marine environment.
