You are looking at a part of the Maritime Transport Act 1994. This part is about who is responsible if something bad happens to the environment because of things people do in the ocean. It is called section 356, but it is no longer part of the law because it was repealed on 23 October 2013 by section 56 of the Maritime Transport Amendment Act 2013.

You can find more information about this change in the Maritime Transport Amendment Act 2013. This change happened when the law was updated. The old section 356 is not used anymore.
