Marine Safety Act 1998

Transport for NSW may approve one or more documents (approved nomination documents) for use by responsible persons when nominating other persons under this clause as persons operating vessels for which they are the responsible persons.

Without limiting subclause (1), Transport for NSW may approve documents under that subclause to be provided in printed or electronic form (or both).

If a responsible person for a vessel supplies an approved nomination document to a law enforcement officer for the purposes of clause 12, a law enforcement officer may, by written notice served on the person (a verification notice), require the person to supply a statutory declaration for use in court proceedings that verifies such of the nominations contained in the approved nomination document as are specified in the verification notice.

A person served with a verification notice must supply the required statutory declaration within the period specified in the notice (being a period of not less than 7 days after the date of service).
