Has anyone heard of big brother cracking down on the use of Tenders ? Gossip has it they are planning on enforcing the law of no fishing or sightseeing in QLD.
Tender registration
If your boat or PWC is a tender to a registered recreational ship, it is exempt from registration if:
it is only used within 2 nautical miles of the parent ship
and it is being used to transport people or provisions between the ship and the shore-
this does not include fishing or sightseeing activities. The tender must be marked on the exterior with the word 'tender' and the parent ship's registration numbers, in characters at least 75mm high. If this is not possible, markings should be on the inside of the boat in the largest characters possible. If the tender is used for more than 1 ship, it may be marked with the owner's name.
