Maritime Transport Act 1994

Wreck of ships and aircraft - Ships and aircraft in distress

102: Receiver to suppress plunder and disorder

You could also call this:

"Stop theft and disorder on ships and aircraft in trouble"

If you are in charge of a ship or aircraft in distress, you have a role to play. You must stop people from taking things that do not belong to them and prevent disorder. This rule used to be part of the Maritime Transport Act 1994, but it was repealed on 9 June 1999 by the Maritime Transport Amendment Act 1999, which you can find more information about at https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM30571.
