The master of a Cayman Islands ship may cause any person on board the ship to be put under restraint if and for so long as it appears to the master necessary in the interest of safety or for the preservation of good order or discipline on board the ship.
Any person who has been placed under restraint in accordance with subsection (1) may refer the matter to the Shipping Master who will decide as to the necessity of the actions of the master.
If the Shipping Master decides that the actions of the master were not necessary the master and the ship owner shall both be liable to the person restrained for costs and damages as may be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
