Local regulation of maritime activity - Enforcement

33H: Powers of entry

You could also call this:

"People in charge can enter ships or buildings to do their job"

To do their job, a harbourmaster or enforcement officer is treated as someone with permission from the Director. This permission lets them enter any ship, building, or place in the region, as stated in sections 453 to 456. You can think of this as the harbourmaster or enforcement officer having the authority to go into these areas to carry out their duties.
