1.Initial sampling shall be carried out at sea if technically possible.
2.The captain may demand that sampling be repeated in port either before or during discharge.
The inspector may demand that sampling be repeated in port before discharge and, if the captain decides to discharge the catch, again during discharge.
3.If the captain or the inspector has demanded that sampling be carried out on discharging the catch, the port chosen by the inspector shall have facilities for unloading and processing the catch, subject to any limitations imposed by prevailing conditions which, in the judgement of the inspector, prevent this.
4.The vessel may either be escorted into port or its hold may be sealed and the captain required to take his vessel into a port specified by the inspector. In the latter case, the inspector shall notify the appropriate control authorities in that port of the name, the registration number and where available the radio call sign of the vessel and its estimated time of arrival. The captain of the vessel shall report to the control authorities immediately on arrival. The seals may be broken only by an inspector.
