Section 25

In the case of a foreign-going North Borneo ship, on the due execution of an agreement with the crew in accordance with this Chapter, and also, where the agreement is a running agreement, on compliance by the master, before the second and every subsequent voyage made after the first commencement of the agreement, with the provisions of this

Chapter respecting that agreement, the Superintendent shall grant the master of the ship a certificate to that effect.

The master of every foreign-going North Borneo ship shall, before proceeding to sea, produce to the Superintendent that certificate, and any such ship may be detained until the conditions precedent to the grant of such certificate exist.

The master of every foreign-going North Borneo ship shall, within forty-eight hours after the ship’s arrival at her final port of destination in North Borneo or upon the discharge of the crew, whichever first happens, deliver his agreement with the crew to the Superintendent and that officer shall give the master a certificate of that delivery.

Any such master who fails, without reasonable cause, so to deliver the agreement with the crew shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to a fine of one hundred dollars.
