On the basis of the provisions in sec. 8, art. 2, of the order of November 15,

else than at the places assigned them by the traffic division of the management

nor can a ship be moved from one place to another inside the free port unless the 
traffic division has granted permission for that, after having consulted the man- 
agement of the free port. 
Arr. 2. In assigning berths in accordance with what is stated in article 1, care 
shall be taken that in case two or more ships reach the free port at about the same 
time, that ship for which a request for a berth has been made in advance shall 
be given the preference unless special circumstances cause other action to be 
taken; but no attention will be paid to such a request if the vessel does not arrive 
on the day on which it was stated in the application that it would arrive. Ships 
propelled by engines shall in all cases be given berths before other kinds of craft. 
SECTION 2. UNLOADING AND LOADING OF SHIPS 
ArticLe 1. The transfer of freight from ship to dock or vice versa within the 
free port shall be attended to, if the management of the free port finds that this

being used, provided this is approved by the master of the vessel; but the master 
of the vessel shall not be considered to be released thereby from the duties in 
connection with unloading or loading that are incumbent upon him under the 
law or from the obligation to meet other expenses of unloading and loading charged 
against the ship.
