Navigation in Thai Territorial Waters Act (No. 14), 1992.

This Act repeals and amends several articles of the Navigation in Thai Territorial Waters Act, 1913. Most of the amendments deal with penalties and fees. The remaining amendments deal with obtaining permits from the Harbour Master for the construction of buildings or other things and the dumping of waste matter into the water and under the water of rivers, canals, marshes, reservoirs or lakes which are public thoroughfares or which are gainfully used by the public collectively, or seas inside Thai territorial waters or on the shores of the said seas (arts. 23 to 26). The criteria and procedures for granting permission shall be as prescribed in a Ministerial Regulation. The Harbour Master shall have the duty to look after, maintain and dig water channels, navigation channels, rivers, canals, lakes and seas inside Thai territorial waters. The Minister of Communications shall have the authority to issue Ministerial Regulations to prescribe the criteria and procedures connected with the packaging, storage, classification, preparation and display of markings, the arrangements for essential documents and the loading and unloading of things which might give rise to danger during carriage (art. 38). Chapter III has been repealed and replaced with "Rules governing the dropping of anchor near or dragging of anchor across cables, pipes or construction items which are stretched under waters".
