2.  For the purposes of paragraph 1 —
(a)the quantity of any N.O.S. item without any additional information as to a recognised chemical name or the main hazardous constituents at any Jurong Port container berth or PSA container berth is the quantity in respect of the IMO Class the N.O.S. item belongs to, as set out in Tables 1, 2, and 3 in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Schedule, respectively, or 0.5 tonne, whichever is the lower; and
(b)the aggregate quantity of —

at any conventional berth must not exceed 0.25 tonne.
3.  In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires —
“conventional berth” means any berth within port limits which is not a Jurong Port container berth or a PSA container berth;
“Jurong Port container berth” means any berth owned or leased by Jurong Port Pte Ltd for the handling, storage and transportation of containers;
“Net Explosives Quantity” or “(NEQ)” means the aggregate of the total amount of explosives on board a vessel and those on board every other vessel that is tied alongside that vessel;
“N.O.S. item” means any First Schedule dangerous good with the description “N.O.S.”;
