This clearly creates a dangerous precedent in that boat owners who decide not to maintain their boats, or to discard following a damaging event, now have the government forking out for the clean up of same.

If you can afford a boat, you should be forced to cover the cost of the responsible disposal of same at the end of its life.

Going forward, why not have removal insurance coverage a requirement for boat registration?

I am confused by the inability to identify the boats and their owners. As far as I know a boat has a serial number stamped in the transom. Most of the boats have a transom. When you register your boat you are asked for this serial number. Surely the database can be cross-referenced. Am I missing something?

It’s great to see the KBB take a more holistic approach to keeping Bermuda beautiful.

Derelict houses next?

Thank you KBB and the leadership provided by Katie Berry during her tenure. She will surely be a huge miss.
