Boats & Moorings Renewal Advisory
The Boats and Moorings Section of the Department of Marine and Ports, Ministry of Transport, today advised of changes to the annual boat and mooring license renewal.
“Annual re-licensing used to be done before 31st March every year. However, re-licensing for 2012/13 will commence as of 1st April, 2012. Licenses will then be valid from 1st June – 31st May, with the renewal period starting 1st April of each year,” said a statement from Marine and Ports.
“As this is the first year using the new dates all currently licensed private boats and moorings will be given an extension on their licenses until 31st May, 2012.
“The change is being implemented so that the collection of license fees will be accounted for in the fiscal year they apply, as well as being more in line with the boating season and generally streamlining the Department administratively.
“Licenses will also have a new look this year with the decals being printed as part of the license paperwork. These can then be peeled off and stuck on to the appropriate boat or mooring.”
