Additional Precautions.
3. attention ie drawn to the following additional
precautions to prevent sabotage. These should be applied
particularly as regards loading at night, with full regard
to the necessity of clearing vessel:; from port with the
minimum delay.
Precautions in Case of Passengers - All agents
of passenger carrying vessels, before booking a passenger,
should take stringent precautions to see that the documents
of the passenger are absolutely in order, and if in doubt
obtain Consular advice. Passengers baggage should, if
considered necessary, be opened and examined before it is
stowed away.
5. Pilots- Particular scrutiny should be kept on pilots
and masters warned against any considered suspect, a
special pilot must be chosen whenever any doubt exists as
to the integrity of the one appointed.
6. Check on Chip’s Stores. Master should, when obtaining
Utx&x stores in foreign ports, required the ship’s chandler
who is supplying them to provide his delivery men with
passes signed by him. a notice should be hung near the
gangway, giving the name of the chandler concerned, and the
watchman should not allow any men to bring stores on board
unless they are provided with such passes. The Oificer in
charge of receipt of stores should carefully check all
stores and as far as possible examine them for signs of
tiering or interference.
7. Ship’s Ventilators and Portholes- While the ship is
in port ventilators should be sealed down or otherwise
protected, and all portholes closed or protected, in such a
manner as to prevent any material which x could be of danger
to ship or cargo being introduced through them.
8. Wire netting grid. When loading grain in bulk by
cutting bags on the. hatch, a wire netting grid must be
suspended in the hatchway. This sh uld be supplied by
the stevedores.
5. Night Work. <*8 a general rule there is no objection
to discharging at night. Masters and agents with the help
of Consular advice, should as far as possible satisfy
themselves that employees and labourers who board a vessel
loading at night do not carry any sabotage material and
that all precautions that would be taken in daylight are
strictly carried out. Bales of wool, hair or cotton, grain -
grain offals'and oilcakes in bags should, not, if possible
be loaded during dark hours. Night bundering is undesirable.
