57. Offence on boat etc., master guilty of offence as well etc.
The master of a boat on which, or by the use of which, an offence against this Act (in this section referred to as the primary offence) is committed is guilty of an offence against this section punishable on conviction as if it were the primary offence.
A person may be convicted of an offence against this section, whether or not the identity of the person who committed the primary offence appears or has appeared from the evidence in the proceedings in respect of the offence against this section or in any other proceedings, but a person shall not be convicted both of an offence against this section and of the primary offence.
Sections 54 and 55 apply where a person is convicted of an offence against this section in the same way as they would apply if the person had been convicted of the primary offence.
