 (i) the vessel has been used, is being used or is about to be used in contravention of section 616, 617 or 619; or
 (ii) the exercise of those powers is necessary to prevent damage being caused to any well, pipeline, structure or equipment in the area to be avoided or in a safety zone; and
 (b) the circumstances are of such a serious nature as to require and justify the immediate exercise of those powers without the authority of a warrant issued under section 622.
