Red Diesel Update Last week, Government made an announcement regarding the outcomes of the consultation on Red Diesel. Key features of the new scheme for charging duty on marine diesel to be introduced by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) with effect from 1 November 2008 will be:
Under the new scheme, HMRC envisage that boaters will 'self declare' whether they are a commercial or recreational vessel and recreational vessels will pay the full duty rate. Fuel used for heating purposes on board will continue to be sold at the rebated rate of duty and the retailer will take the owners word, again based on self declaration, on what proportion is for heating or lighting and what is for propulsion. The full press release from the BMF can be found by clicking here The
cost implications of Red Diesel to the Marine Industry - TheYachtMarket |

Navigation – Awareness of Other Users There have been recent occurrences on the water that have involved different types of vessels, some belonging to the Harbour Authority and other private owners. It is appropriate to emphasise the need for caution when navigating close to other users and always obey the Rules of the Road. Please see attached
for three recommendations from Roger Thorney, Acting Harbour Master |

Disposal of Flares The question of what to do with those out of date flares is one which faces all boat owners from time to time. They must NOT be used for any other reason/occasion than to signal distress at sea. Under no circumstances should they be dropped overboard, buried or put in the rubbish bin. Using a flare other than for a genuine emergency is a very serious matter and can put all the emergency services to a great deal of unnecessary work, risk and expense. All flare sightings are treated as genuine until proved otherwise. There is NO TIME when marine flares can be used other than for the purpose for which they were made. To dispose of them properly, take them to any Coastguard Station and they will arrange for their safe and proper disposal. Please ring beforehand if you are traveling any distance to ensure the Coastguard Station will be open. The link here will help you to locate your nearest Coastguard Station http://www.mcga.gov.uk/c4mca/mcga-home.htm |
