Whenever the master or a seafarer of a South African ship who is entitled to be provided with accommodation or provisions, by reason of the fact that the ship is being fumigated, or for any other reason not due to his own wilful act or default or to his own misbehaviour, be provided with accommodation or provisions on board the ship, he shall be provided elsewhere at the expense of the owner of the ship with accommodation or food, as the case may be, proper to his rank or rating.
