What is the penalty for a ship that contravenes the Coasting Trade Act?
A ship that engages in Canadian coasting trade in contravention of the Coasting Trade Act is guilty of an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding fifty thousand dollars. Where such an offence is committed by a ship on more than one day or is continued by the ship for more than one day, it is deemed to be a separate offence for each day on which the offence is committed or continued.
