of an offence punishable, upon conviction, by a fine not exceeding $200,000.
"(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to the discharge of sewage from a foreign ship unless the discharge occurs in the sea near the Australian Antarctic Territory.
"(3) Subsection (1) does not apply if the sewage was discharged for the purpose of:

ANNEX TO BE SUBSTITUTED FOR ANNEX III TO THE CONVENTION SET OUT IN SCHEDULE 1 TO THE PROTECTION OF THE SEA (PREVENTION OF POLLUTION FROM SHIPS) ACT 1983
ANNEX III
Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Harmful Substances Carried by Sea in Packaged Form
Regulation 1
Application
1 Unless expressly provided otherwise, the regulations of this Annex apply to all ships carrying harmful substances in packaged form.
1.1       For the purposes of this Annex, harmful substances are those substances which are identified as marine pollutants in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code).*
1.2       Guidelines for the identification of harmful substances in packaged form are given in the appendix to this Annex.
1.3       For the purposes of this Annex, packaged form is defined as the forms of containment specified for harmful substances in the IMDG Code.*
2            Such carriage of harmful substances is prohibited except in accordance with the provisions of this Annex.
3            To supplement the provisions of this Annex, the Government of each Party to the Convention shall issue, or cause to be issued detailed requirements on packing, marking, labelling, documentation stowage, quantity limitations and exceptions for preventing or minimizing pollution of the marine environment by harmful substances.
4            For the purposes of this Annex, empty packagings which have been used previously for the carriage of harmful substances shall themselves be treated as harmful substances unless adequate precautions have been taken to ensure that they contain no residue that is harmful to the marine environment.
5            The requirements of this Annex do not apply to ship
