93 Powers of owner or master as to dangerous goods
The owner or master of any vessel may refuse to take on board at any port in the State any package which the owner or master suspects contains dangerous goods and may require it to be opened and may inspect the contents.
If any dangerous goods, or any goods which in the opinion of the owner or master of the vessel are dangerous goods, have been sent or brought aboard any vessel without being marked as required by section 91 or without notice having been given as required by that section, the owner or master of the vessel may cause the goods to be thrown overboard, with any package or receptacle in which they are contained, and neither the owner nor the master shall be subject to any liability, civil or criminal, for doing so.
