A full written report shall be submitted to the Director on the circumstances, specifying any damage which may affect the seaworthiness of the vessel and the Director may impose any further conditions as he may think fit for the continued laying-up of the vessel in the laid-up anchorage.

The owner, agent or master or person in charge of a laid-up vessel shall, when required, satisfy the Director that he has at all times sufficient personnel available to him to ensure the safety of his vessel in the laid-up anchorage.
