Where any authorised officer, that is to say, in respect of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, any such officer other than an officer of the Board of Trade as is referred to in section 284(1) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995, or a States Revenue Officer, or, in respect of the Bailiwick of Jersey, the Harbour Master, or an officer appointed to deputise for him, has reason to suspect that any ship registered in the Bailiwick of Guernsey or, as the case may be, the Bailiwick of Jersey has been or is being or is about to be used in contravention of article 5(1) above, he may (either alone or accompanied and assisted by persons under his authority) board the ship and search her and, for that purpose, may use or authorise the use of reasonable force, and he may request the master of the ship to furnish such information relating to the ship and her cargo and produce for his inspection such documents so relating and such cargo as he may specify. An authorised officer (either there and then or upon consideration of any information furnished or document or cargo produced in pursuance of such a request) may, in the case of a ship that is reasonably suspected of being or of being about to be used in contravention of article 5(1) above, exercise the following further powers with a view to the prevention of the commission (or the continued commission) of any such contravention or in order that enquiries into the matter may be pursued. He may either direct the master to refrain, except with the consent of any authorised officer, from landing at any port specified by the officer any part of the ship’s cargo that is so specified or request the master to take any one of the following steps —
a
to cause the ship not to proceed with the voyage on which she is then engaged or about to engage until the master is notified by any authorised officer that the ship may so proceed;
b
if the ship is then in a port in the Bailiwick of Guernsey or, as the case may be, the Bailiwick of Jersey, to cause her to remain there until the master is notified by an authorised officer that the ship may depart;
c
if the ship is then in any other place, to take her to any such port specified by the officer and to cause her to remain there until the master is notified as mentioned in sub-paragraph (b) above; and

to take her to any other destination that may be specified by the officer in agreement with the master.

That officer or that authorised person may (either alone or accompanied and assisted by persons under his authority) board the aircraft and search it and, for that purpose, may use or authorise the use of reasonable force. If the aircraft is then in the Bailiwick of Guernsey or, as the case may be, the Bailiwick of Jersey, any such officer or such authorised person (either there and then or upon consideration of any information furnished or document or cargo produced in pursuance of such a request) may further request the charterer, operator and the commander or any of them to cause the aircraft to remain in the Bailiwick of Guernsey or, as the case may be, the Bailiwick of Jersey until notified that the aircraft may depart.
4

a
enter, or authorise entry, upon any land and upon that aircraft;
b
detain, or authorise the detention of, that aircraft; and
c
use, or authorise the use of, reasonable force.
5

Any such officer or such authorised person (either there and then or upon consideration of any information furnished or document or goods produced in pursuance of such a request) may further request the operator or driver to cause the vehicle to remain in the Bailiwick of Guernsey or, as the case may be, the Bailiwick of Jersey until notified that the vehicle may depart.
