(1) If:
(a) the request or agreement of another country is made or given for the exercise of powers in relation to a vessel, installation, aircraft or isolated person for a particular purpose (the agreed purpose); and
(b) the request or agreement is relied on for the purposes of this Division;
a maritime officer may exercise any maritime power in relation to the vessel, installation, aircraft or person for the agreed purpose.
