Marine Safety Act 1998

The holder of a boat driving licence is required to carry the licence when doing anything for which the licence is required.

An authorised officer may require the holder of a marine safety licence who is doing anything for which the licence is required to produce the holder’s licence.

The holder of a marine safety licence (other than a boat driving licence) is not required to produce the licence at the time the requirement is made if the holder does not have the licence in his or her possession at the time. In that case, the holder is required to produce the licence to an authorised officer within 24 hours or within any longer period approved by an authorised officer.

An authorised officer may seize any marine safety licence that has been cancelled or otherwise ceased to have effect or that the officer has reason to believe is false.

In this section, a reference to a boat driving licence includes a reference to an authorisation to operate a power-driven vessel issued under the law of another jurisdiction.
