If the ship owner refuses to relocate upon notice, the commercial port authority may relocate such ship directly. The expenses or damages arising from the above situations shall be paid by the ship owner or his/her agent.
When the ship owner or his/her agent needs to relocate the ship upon his/her own will, he/she shall apply for permission with the commercial port management enterprise, maritime and port authority or its designated institution prior to its action.

For a ship remaining in the port because of a court attachment, it shall depart from the port or relocate to an anchorage outside the port after the attachment has been lifted within the deadline ordered by the commercial port management enterprise, maritime and port authority or its designated institution.
