In page 23, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following:

54.—(1) It is the duty of the owner and master of a ship or boat to whom a permit to tender in respect of a tendering operation has issued under section 53(1)**—

(b) to display on board the ship or boat, in a place where passengers can view it, the permit to tender issued in respect of it,

(c) in the case of a vessel's tender engaged in such operation, to ensure that a copy of the permit to tender is available on board for examination while the tendering operation is being undertaken, and
