Before commencing marine commercial operations the undertaker must submit to the Statutory Conservancy and Navigation Authority for approval a written statement of proposed safe operating procedures for access to and egress from the authorised development.

The undertaker must not submit the statement referred to in sub–paragraph (1) unless it has first consulted with the harbour master, the dock master for the Port of Immingham and the IOT Operators, as defined in Part 4 of this Schedule, and has had due regard to their representations.

Prior to granting or refusing approval of the statement referred to in sub–paragraph (1), the Statutory Conservancy and Navigation Authority may carry out its own navigational risk assessment and may impose reasonable conditions on the approval for the purposes set out in paragraph 3(2)(a) to (c) of this Part of this Schedule.

The undertaker must operate the authorised development only in accordance with such procedure as approved, including any approved alteration made from time to time.
