May 2022

Do you own a small craft and do you ever use it for commercial purposes? If so, changes are coming!

The Falkland Island Maritime Authority are opening a public consultation for the adoption of the UK Merchant Shipping (Vessels in Commercial use for Sport or Pleasure) Regulations (SI 1998/2771).

This will bring into force codes of practice to ensure that all vessels operating in Falklands waters for commercial gain are up to satisfactory standards. The Public consultation paper will be open from 2nd May 2022 until 31st May 2022 and we invite members of the public with any questions of queries to contact the Deputy Harbour Master by email to [email protected].

The consultation paper and a question and answer document can be found below.
