Except in bona fide cases of distress, a vessel that is denied authorization to enter shall be denied authorization to transit the Canal and shall be required immediately to depart from Canal Zone waters. A vessel whose use of Canal Zone port facilities has been restricted pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be deemed to have been provisionally entered and its use of Canal Zone port facilities shall be contingent upon Its strict adherence to the limitations imposed.
