(1)
The Receiver of Wreck shall-
(a)
set a reasonable deadline within which the shipowner must undertake the removal of the wreck taking into account the hazard;
(b)
inform the shipowner in writing of the deadline he has set and specify that, if the shipowner does not undertake the removal of the wreck within that deadline, he can undertake the removal at the shipowner's expense; and
(c)
inform the shipowner that he intends to intervene immediately where the hazard is particularly severe.
(2)
If the shipowner does not remove the wreck within the deadline set, or the Receiver of Wreck considers that immediate action is required, he may undertake the removal or marking of the wreck by the most practical and expeditious means available, consistent with considerations of safety and protection of the marine environment and related interests.
