Abstract
This Act provides for the registration of any vessel operating exclusively within the waters of the Republic that is not duly and properly documented or registered elsewhere. Vessels registered pursuant to this Act shall be known as Domestic Watercraft. Registration under this Act is valid only within the waters of the Republic. Anytime a vessel intends to leave the waters of the Republic, it must surrender all registration documents issued under this Act, and if applicable, re-register under the appropriate provisions of Chapters 1, 2 and 3 of Title 47. One of the stated purposes of the requirement to register Domestic Watercrafts is to preserve and protect the marine environment of the Republic. The Minister shall be the responsible authority for purposes of this Act and shall be assisted by the Maritime Administrator and by inspectors and other public officers.
