The maritime safety directorate of my Department is developing a registration system to enhance the safety of recreational craft. A consultation paper for the small vessels register is currently being drafted by the maritime safety directorate of my Department. Once this has been completed, the paper will be issued to interested bodies and will also be made available on the Department's website. The small vessels register, along with the safety code for recreational craft, will place maritime safety at the centre of the Department's policies on recreational craft.
