All about car tuning

Use of boats during the spawning period. Gims requirements for dummies

Before going on a boat trip or fishing, let's prepare ourselves mentally, technically and legally so that we can have fun and not a headache.

Ignorance of the 2016 navigation rules does not exempt you from liability: administrative, criminal, and certainly will not relieve you of pangs of conscience because of the injured person.

The administrative code is based on the principle of the presumption of innocence:

- a person is liable only for those offenses for which his guilt is indicated,

- a person held administratively liable is not required to prove his innocence,

- is considered innocent until his guilt is proven in the manner prescribed by the code.

For violation of the rules of navigation we face the following types of administrative punishment:

- just a fine

- “complex” punishment: a warning, a fine or deprivation of rights (abbr. PSL), which the inspector decides to apply to you.

It is not the inspector who deprives you of your rights, but the judge.

To analyze tragic cases, there are river and maritime prosecutors' offices.

The only violation for which the boat is sent to a parking fine is driving the vessel while intoxicated.

The vessel will remain there until the cause of the violation is eliminated, that is, until you sober up, or the boat can be picked up by an authorized person (legally registered).

Driving a boat (an inflatable boat with a motor is a small craft) while intoxicated or transferring control to an equally drunk person, as well as a person without a license: a fine of 1500-2000 rubles or deprivation of rights for a period of 1 to 2 years years.

A license is needed for an MS with an engine power greater than 3.68 kW (5 hp). If you have 3.7 kW, then you need it. A boat with a motor power of up to 3.68 kW can be operated by any crew member (sober).

If all crew members have licenses, then you can replace each other at the wheel without any bureaucratic paperwork (powers of attorney) if the owner of the boat is on board. If a friend gave you a boat for a ride, then you need to draw up a power of attorney (can be handwritten).

For example, in St. Petersburg there is such a parking fine: towing and the first day are free. In the case when the boat or motorboat does not exceed the length of 10 meters, the owner will need to pay 21 rubles per hour of parking (504 rubles per day). There is still a chance to get a parking fine on suspicion of stealing a boat, i.e. you should always have documents for it or a ship’s ticket

If there is no official parking lot on a body of water, then “there is no court.”

The most common fines.

Note: fines are cumulative, but any fine can be challenged in court.

Operating an unregistered vessel - a fine of 500 to 1000 rubles.

Operating a vessel that has not passed technical inspection - a fine of 500 to 1000 rubles.

Driving a vessel that does not carry hull numbers - a fine of 500 to 1000 rubles.

Driving a vessel in violation of the navigation area - a fine of 500 to 1000 rubles.

There are three types of sailing areas and St. Petersburg has them all.

MP (sea routes) - they can be recognized by sea buoys, for example, the Neva River behind the Blagoveshchensky Bridge and the Gulf of Finland.

IWW (inland waterways) - Neva, the river along which cargo and passenger ships of VERY small size sail, as well as MS.

VP (internal routes) - the Fontanka River, the Moika and all the canals of St. Petersburg, the Ivanovsky quarry near the Lomonosovskaya metro station, etc.

Navigation areas are indicated in the ship's ticket photo1 and the driver's license of a small boat (not all areas may be indicated in both documents! It depends on how you studied and what you plan to sail on).

Let's study the ship's ticket. We open the page and see VP, GDP, MP - these are the navigation areas. The wave height is 0.40 m, the distance from the shore is 3000 m. This means that when we go out into the Gulf of Finland (MP), we should not move further than 3 km from the shore (the nearest shelter).

Simply put, in any of these areas you can drive with a motor up to 3.68 without a license, and if the motor is more powerful with a license.

Operating a vessel converted without permission (for example, installing a motor on a boat registered as a rowing boat) - a fine of 500 to 1000 rubles.

Here is the soulless face of a bureaucrat: you take the Pella from the base, according to the documents of the rental base it is a rowing boat (although according to the passport it is a motor-rowing boat and is designed to install a motor of up to 2.3 hp, you hang a 2 hp motor on the transom (there is a certificate of invoice), and you are GUILTY, although you don’t even have to pay taxes for engines up to 3.68 kW!

Violation of the rules for ensuring the safety of passengers on the MS (lack of a vest; there is a vest, but is not worn while moving; sitting on board a boat while moving, more passengers than allowed) - entails a fine of 300 - 500 rubles.

Let's read another page of the ship's ticket. These “mysterious” icons are the formula of the ship’s class photo 2.

2 means motorboat

U is for a ship without a deck.

- means there are no waterproof compartments

(4) - wave height class

2 — number of people on the vessel max

/3.6 - max engine power for this vessel

This means that five of us don’t need to climb into a two-seater boat... and it won’t be possible to hang a five instead of 3.5 hp.

Let's look at other pages of the ship's ticket photo 3.

The inspector wanted to give you a fire extinguisher, but at that moment he sneezed and forgot to do it... when meeting you at the pond, even he himself does not have the right to demand one. You should only have what is written in your boat. A ship's ticket is a legal document confirming your rights as an owner, and if someone bad steals your boat, on this basis you can put the boat on the wanted list.

A ship's ticket is issued after registering the boat with the State Inspectorate for Small Boats (GIMS).

Exceeding the established speed, failure to comply with the requirements of navigation signs, stopping or parking in prohibited places, violation of the rules of maneuvering, sound signals - warning, fine from 300 to 500 rubles, deprivation of rights for 6 months.

Let's take a closer look at this point.

Speed ​​limits on the Neva and in Gulf of Finland not yet, but on all internal rivers and canals of St. Petersburg no higher than 8 km/h (when passing by berths 5 km/h).

Failure to comply with the requirements of navigation signs - the sign not to drop the anchor, photo 4, will be understood by a beginner, and about the rest in the next article.

Stopping or parking in prohibited places - under a bridge is not allowed, where large ships sail, I strongly advise against it (you will be safe), and you should not approach the nuclear power plant either.

Violation of the rules of maneuvering - movement on reservoirs is right-handed, i.e. the right side of the boat should always be closer to the bank of the river (canal) than the left, the obstacle on the right is like on land, you must pass on the left sides (it is advisable to do the same on lakes). Giving way to a rowing boat (also MS) does not mean stopping; you need to carefully go around the rowing boat without creating a wave that is dangerous for such a small boat. If we are mutually polite, perhaps a motorboat with two 300 hp outboards will carefully pass you by.

Giving sound signals - the MS can give sound signals (whistles, the sound of a pneumatic horn) only in 2 cases: a person overboard (three long ones of 5 seconds each) and if you find yourself in the fog (like a hedgehog). If you unexpectedly find yourself in fog, then you need to give sound signals (one long (5 sec) once every 2 minutes with a whistle or pneumatic horn (the kind football fans use). Entering the MS into a body of water in fog is prohibited (since not a single cargo ship locator will and he won’t “see” a low boat).

No one has the right to seize your boat or motor under any circumstances, and taking the victim to the hospital is a sacred matter.

Few people think about legislation when going fishing. But, as you know, ignorance of the law does not exempt you from responsibility. Therefore, before putting away hooks, uncovering spinning rods and digging for worms, you should study where, how, what and when it is allowed to fish. So that later there will be no excruciating pain for a thinner wallet and a ruined vacation.

Let's study the laws for fishermen together!

What fishing is considered illegal in the Russian Federation, and where you can’t fish?

You can learn more about prohibited fishing from the relevant laws. For example, from Federal Law No. 166 (note “On Fisheries...”). According to this law, you can fish freely and freely if you do it on water bodies for which no special use regime has been established. But even under these conditions, you may be subject to restrictions approved by law.

The main list of restrictions is regulated by the federal body - Rosrybolovstvo.

These include…

  1. Fishing bans in certain areas and prohibitions on catching certain types of fish.
  2. A certain weight and size of the fish caught.
  3. Number, type, size and design of fishing devices and fishing methods.
  4. Permitted/prohibited periods for fishing.
  5. Sizes, number and types of fishing vessels.
  6. Catch volume per 1 private person or 1 vessel.

And other restrictions.

As for the specific permitted places for fishing in Russia, they are determined by each region independently.

The places that are prohibited everywhere are the following...

  1. Near bridges, locks, near dams and hydraulic structures, near fish/factories and cages for raising young animals.
  2. On water bodies of spawning farms.
  3. On the fairway from a boat.
  4. In nature reserves.
  5. In fish hatcheries.
  6. In pond/fish farms.
  7. In spawning grounds during spawning.
  8. At fish hatchery facilities during the release of young fish.

Prohibited fishing gear - what is prohibited from fishing?

  1. Networks of any type/kind.
  2. Traps of any design/type (with the exception of crayfish traps).
  3. Passive fishing gear (approx. - hooks, pokes, etc.) on those rivers that are known for their habitats of salmon species.
  4. Pneumatic weapons (except for devices intended for underwater hunting).
  5. Fishing rods/spinning rods of any type, system, design with a total number of hooks - over 10 pieces per person.
  6. Trawls, bottom seines.
  7. Hook trap devices.
  8. Network devices/devices (seines and televisions, drills and capes, scarves, etc.).
  9. Lifters/scoops with dimensions over 1x1 m and mesh pitch over 10 mm.
  10. Traps and catfish traps.
  11. Spears and other piercing tools for fishing.

Prohibited fishing methods - how can you not fish?

  1. For undercutting and lighting.
  2. Stunning fish.
  3. Trolling using a sail and motor with more than 2 baits.
  4. By means of barriers that become an obstacle to the free movement of fish (dams, etc.).
  5. Using circles/langes with the number of hooks - over 10 pcs per person.
  6. Using crayfish traps when their quantity is more than 3 pieces per person, with a mesh size of less than 22 mm and a device diameter of more than 80 cm.
  7. By sewing with a total number of hooks - over 10 pieces per person.
  8. Using the diving method or manually wading when catching crayfish.
  9. On the close.
  10. Combines and oilseed traps.
  11. Descent of reservoirs.
  12. With the installation of huts on ice.
  13. From ships and other watercraft that have not been properly registered and do not have legal identification marks on board.
  14. Electric shock and firearms.
  15. Electric fishing rods.
  16. Using watercraft during spawning.
  17. Scuba diving, underwater.

Prohibited fishing periods – when is it forbidden to fish?

As for the timing of the fishing ban, they are set by regions individually and change every year, depending on the situation. For example, pike spawning is the end of winter, the beginning of spring +/- 2 weeks. And perch spawning begins after the water warms up to +7.

Be careful! Fishing during spawning is strictly prohibited!

Prohibition on fishing by its length - permissible values

It is worth noting that the measurement of fish length is carried out from highest point snout (approx. with the mouth closed) and to the base of the middle rays of the caudal fin. For crustaceans, this value will be equal to the length of the body from the end of the tail plates to the line that connects the middle of the eyes.

If the length of the caught fish is less than acceptable, it must be released “home” with a minimum of damage.

So, the valid values ​​are:

  1. For carp– 30 cm.
  2. For crayfish– 9 cm.
  3. For zander– 38 cm.
  4. For burbot– 40 cm.
  5. For pike– 32 cm.
  6. For the asp– 35 cm.
  7. For catfish– 40 cm.
  8. For chub– 20 cm.
  9. For carp– 24 cm.
  10. For vimba– 22 cm.
  11. For ramming– 16 cm.
  12. For grass carp– 45 cm.
  13. For bream– 17-28 cm (depending on the region).
  14. For trout– 15 cm.
  15. For subust– 15 cm.
  16. For bersh– 25 cm.
  17. For the barbel– 20 cm.
  18. For herring– 15 cm.
  19. For silver carp– 50 cm.

Ban on fishing based on quantity - acceptable values

In terms of the amount of catch, the law determines the following:

  1. Catch rate per person/day– 5 kg of fish. In this case, there is only one exception - in the case when the weight of the first fish is higher than the catch norm.
  2. Fish export rate– no more than double the norm for 2 days of stay (export in any form – salted or dried, smoked and raw).
  3. No restrictions: to catch bleak, minnows and ruff.
  4. Crayfish catch rate– no more than 30 pieces per person/day.
  5. Strictly prohibited industrial fishing without a license.
  6. Fishing for bait– no more than 30 live bait per person/day.

Prohibited fish species - which ones should you not catch?

Lists of prohibited fish are determined individually in each region.

  1. For example, for Moscow, Moscow region– trout and sterlet, crayfish with lampreys, bersh and catfish, podust and sabrefish, white-eye, grayling.
  2. And in the Kama region It is prohibited to catch trout, taimen, Russian sturgeon and sterlet.
  3. For the entire territory of the Russian Federation There are restrictions on the size of pike and burbot, bream, and pike perch caught.
  4. Strict ban on fishing for pike, pike perch, asp and bream– if they are used as bait.
  5. There is a categorical ban on catching the following fish: Atlantic sturgeon (listed in the Red Book, fine for catching is about 40,000 rubles), large false sturgeon, Aral salmon (rare species, 1st category of protection), etc.

All punishments and fines for illegal fishing in 2019 in the Russian Federation

For violation of the law on the use of aquatic biological resources, the following penalties and fines:

  1. For violation of fishing rules and other rules on fishing (Administrative Code Article 8.37 Part 2). Punishment: fine equal to 2000-5000 rubles. for citizens + confiscation of the vessel and fishing devices.
  2. For catching fish during spawning. Punishment: fine - up to 300,000 rubles.
  3. For catching carp, carp or pike during spawning. Punishment: fine of 250 rubles. for each individual. For bream – 25 rubles, for crayfish – 42 rubles.

  11. For violation of water use rules during fishing (Administrative Code Art. 8.14 Part 2). Punishment: fine equal to 1500-2000 rubles. for citizens.

How to fish according to the Law - instructions for law-abiding fishermen

Of course, for a real fisherman there are no such “fishy” nuances that he is not aware of. But given that our aquatic biological resources are becoming scarcer year after year, we risk one day simply not finding fish in our rivers and lakes. Therefore, the rules for law-abiding fishermen will not be superfluous for anyone.

Note: specific places for legal fishing and clear deadlines for prohibitions on it should be found directly in the region where they are established (they are different everywhere!).

Where can you fish?

Fishing is allowed everywhere (during those periods) where it is not prohibited. That is, in public water bodies that are not nature reserves, private facilities, fish breeding enterprises or other places included in the above list. More specific information can be obtained from the regional/district inspectorate.

When can you fish?

At any time, except for seasons in which fishing is prohibited by law (during spawning). Usually, each fish has its own spawning time, but from May to June fishing is allowed only with 1 fishing rod (and 1 hook).

Traveling on watercraft for the purpose of fishing is also prohibited at this time.

What can you fish with (we are talking about recreational fishing)?

Spinning rods and float rods, feeders, girders and mugs are allowed, bottom fishing rods. But no more than 5 pieces per person at a time.

Other gear is allowed if the number of hooks on it does not exceed 10 pieces.

Underwater fishing (harpoons) is also allowed, but without scuba gear.

How much can you catch?

The catch limit depends on the region and the fish. The standard figure is 5 kg per person.

There are no restrictions on low-value breeds (ruffs, bleaks, minnows).

The number of crayfish in the catch is no more than 30 pieces and no more than 9 cm in length.

Is it possible to catch with nets?

Only in certain regions of the country (Far East, Siberia, North) and only if there is a license. It is issued by Rosrybolovstvo after registration and individual marking of the nets with all the owner’s data.

Personalized permission

It is obtained, again, from Rosrybolovstvo, if the purpose of fishing is one of the 14 species of fish that are prohibited from being caught without a license. This permit stipulates both the validity period, the quantity/weight of fish, and the fishing location. The document is paid (200 rubles).

Every year in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region restrictions are introduced on fishing and catching fish during the spring and summer spawning periods. Data on the spring-summer spawning fishing ban in 2017 are extracted from the Fishery Rules for the Western Fishery Basin of the Russian Federation. Find the dates for the 2017 spring spawning ban below. And read the link.

To preserve biological diversity in the reservoirs of the Leningrad Region and St. Petersburg, it is necessary to comply with the spawning ban. The spring-summer period of spawning ban in the Leningrad region and St. Petersburg imposes a number of restrictions and bans on fishing. Comply with the law.

Having decided to go to the shore of a reservoir, you need to know exactly when fishing from a boat is allowed. With the opening of the season and the onset of the warm season quiet life avid fishermen is running out. They begin preparing gear, buying new hooks, and repairing the boat. They inspect their favorite fishing spots, looking for where the best bite is. This is understandable, many people are fond of fishing, because the only tasty fish is the one that was caught with their own hands. But the fact is that in the spring it happens that the fish ban begins.

Often the whole family gathers for fishing on a boat. What could be better family vacation in the fresh air beautiful place? Especially if the weather is clear and there is no rain. A boat is a convenient way to transport the necessary fishing accessories with an approved fishing rod. The ideal option would be a motorized watercraft that has a decent weight and is not carried away by the current. When fishing from a boat is allowed is of interest to many.

However, you need to choose the time of rest with a fishing rod so that the ban on fishing does not apply at this time. Let's find out why fishing may not always be permitted. On the territory of Russia there are several fishing zones that have their own climatic conditions. The fishing ban is established by the Ministry of Agriculture.

You must use approved gear.

It is not allowed and there are no permits for:
  • spinning rods;
  • fishing rods with multiple hooks;
  • use of explosives;
  • chemistry;
  • electric shock;
  • traps;
  • use of piercing objects.

The duration of the bans changes annually. And they are also filmed at different times. Therefore, to know exactly when it is possible, you should look at the official website of this department.

As a rule, the timing when you can fish is related to the spawning of fish, as well as the weather that has established in a particular region.

However, the reason that the favorite type of permitted recreation turns out to be prohibited is not only the spawning period. There are periods when fishing from a boat is allowed in limited quantities and this is seasonal. During this period, fishing from boats is allowed, but only in a certain quantity. Reservoirs where spawning occurs are prohibited.

Prohibited during spawning.

It depends on the:
  1. Species of fish.
  2. A body of water in which spawning occurs.
  3. Weather conditions.
  4. The region where they go to fish.

Fishing from a boat opens after the end of the spawning period. Definitely, you should not go to the reservoir during spawning, since such fishing is considered poaching, and therefore there is a high probability of getting into a lot of trouble.

Seasonal restrictions are related to:
  1. The need to protect rare breeds.
  2. The fearfulness of the inhabitants of prohibited bodies of water to sharp sounds.
  3. Conditions for laying eggs.

When planning a trip to a reservoir, if you really can’t wait, look at where they may allow it, don’t be too lazy to go to the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture. There will be all the information about when the current period for fishing from a boat begins.

Since there are 8 zones in our country, each of them has its own permits.

Let's give general information, from what date you will need to navigate:
  1. The opening dates of the ice cover have nuances regarding the timing of fishing for pike perch, bream and asp, and from June 10 it is allowed.
  2. From the moment the ice breaks up until May 15, you cannot catch pike.
  3. From the 20th of May to the 10th of June is the beginning of spawning for crayfish.
  4. In autumn, from October 1 to November 20, whitefish, peled, brook trout, grayling, ripus and eel are prohibited.

Considering the above, it is better to wait a little for the season to open and then go on vacation, rather than lose your fishing rod at best, and get into very serious trouble at worst. Therefore, you need to find out in advance and plan your trip taking into account current laws.

There is no need to be too upset, since in Ukraine there are also bans on fishing from a boat. In order to know exactly the fishing date when it is not allowed, you should use the official website of the State Fisheries Supervision Authority. Time periods also change in this country, so you can easily find yourself in an awkward position.

Spring activities:
  1. Starting from the first of August, fishing on rivers is not allowed, and it ends on June 30.
  2. From the beginning of August until the beginning of the 10th day of the first summer month, fish reservoirs and ponds are prohibited.
  3. At the beginning of April and until the end of the first summer month, there is no fishing from a boat using adjunct-type systems.

Also in spring and autumn there are nuances for catching crayfish, all over Ukraine. Therefore, find out in advance when the reservoir is removed and opened. To avoid any troubles.

Unfortunately, when planning a pleasant pastime, few people pay attention to the current laws and availability of permission. But even if a person does not know about the ban, if he meets with an inspector, this will not help him much. Even if the fishing season had already opened before, you cannot say to him: “Please allow me.”

The punishment, if there are no permits, is strict and quite harsh for trying to catch during a ban. Most likely, you will have to pay with a ruined vacation, a boat, wasted nerves and finances. In addition, if the guilt is serious, then they may be subject to criminal liability. Therefore, it is worth thinking about whether such difficulties are necessary.

Federal Law No. 166, paragraph “On Fisheries,” will help us explain the situation. This document does not limit free fishing in permitted areas when not prohibited. It is necessary to choose reservoirs in which fish have not started breeding and do not have a special regime of use.

Therefore, the Rosrybolovstvo website will be useful to us. There is a whole list there explaining where fishing on boats is allowed and where it is not, what fish can be caught and in what quantity and when it is prohibited. In particular, it is stipulated that fishing is allowed on one boat and by one person.

So, what will happen if you are caught by inspectors of the specified department, if it is prohibited to fish in the place where you:
  • you will be fined if there is a violation of the Code of Administrative Offenses, Article 8.37, Part 2. The approximate amount will be from 2000 to 5000 rubles. In addition, this legislative act also provides for confiscation of property. Including, your boat and fishing rod will be taken away;
  • destruction of a prohibitory sign is also punishable by a fine;
  • catching fish from a boat during the spawning period will cost much more, at least 300,000 rubles;
  • in the event that you were seen with the gear and the damage was assessed as major, you will have to pay from 100,000 to 300,000 rubles. In addition, the article also implies a possible arrest for six months;
  • if you come to the reservoir in your own car, then you face an amount of 3,500 to 4,000 rubles, provided that the car is located 200 meters from the shore.

As we can see, the consequences are quite serious, so it is worth planning the event in advance so as not to find yourself in a difficult situation.

Before the motorboat season has arrived, and boating enthusiasts are checking their equipment, it’s time to do some theoretical preparation. As many people know, on January 1 of this year, new rules for registering small vessels used for non-commercial purposes came into force. Let's look at this issue in more detail.

New GIMS rules for small vessels 2017

The new edition of the GIMS rules 2017 (According to Order No. 340) came into force on January 1, and has already managed to make a splash among ordinary people. Users of our site had questions, which we decided to address directly to the GIMS NSO of the Russian Federation. You can read what came out of this in the article.

New regulatory legal acts on the issue of registration of small vessels used for non-commercial purposes.

  • “Administrative regulations of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the provision of public services for state registration small vessels supervised by the GIMS of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia (Order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia dated June 24, 2016 No. 339).
  • “Rules for the state registration of small vessels supervised by the GIMS of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia (Order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia dated June 24, 2016 No. 340).

According to these orders, the new procedure for registering small vessels supervised by the GIMS EMERCOM of Russia differs significantly from the current one, which was established by Order EMERCOM of Russia dated June 29, 2005 No. 500.

The procedure for registering small vessels in GIMS 2017

To understand this issue, we must first of all clearly understand what a small vessel is. This is a vessel whose length is no more than 20 meters, the number of passengers is no more than 12 people. According to the rules, those small vessels that are used for non-commercial purposes and whose weight is over 200 kg are subject to state registration with the GIMS bodies of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. or if the power of the installed engine (boat motor) is over 8 kW.

How to determine the mass of a small boat

The Kazanka-M motorboat can be equipped with a motor with a power of up to 25 hp. inclusive. Of the existing motors with a power of 25 hp. the heaviest is the 4-stroke PLM Mercury F 25ELPT, whose weight is 82 kg. Thus, the mass of the completed Kazanka-M motorboat is 227 kg. Hence the conclusion - according to the new regulations, it will have to be registered, regardless of what power the motor will be installed on it.

Example No. 2.

The motor boat "Poseidon-480" has a mass with equipment and equipment of 110 kg. If previously its owner used it with a PLM power, for example 10 hp. weighing 35 kg, then it was not subject to state registration, since the total weight was less than 200 kg. Now you need to take into account the weight of the maximum power PLM, which is recommended by the ship manufacturer. For the model we are considering, the maximum permitted engine power is 50 hp, and modern engines of this power, which we will focus on first, have a mass of more than 100 kg. This means that the total weight of the kit will exceed the permitted 200 kg. and such a motor boat must be registered.

Example No. 3.

Another example, with a Soviet boat - “MKM”. Its weight of the equipped body is 150 kg. With a Yamaha 9.9 FMHS engine, this boat will weigh 186 kg, which is less than 200 kg. However, according to the passport, engines up to 25 hp can be installed on the MKM. inclusive. Let's take a 25-horsepower engine from the same manufacturer: Yamaha 25 BWS. He weighs 56.5 kg. We calculate - 150 + 56.5 = 206.5 kg. The weight of the vessel is more than 200 kg, therefore, it must be registered with the State Civil Inspectorate for Transport and the issuance of a ship's ticket.

Main differences from the GIMS 2016 rules

Now let's move on to the most interesting part. On the Internet, we have collected the most pressing questions related to the difference between the old registration rules and the new ones, and made a comparison selection for you.

Registration

  • Was. Before the innovations, all processes related to the registration of a ship were carried out at the place of residence of the person for whom it was registered, or where the ship was based.
  • Will. Now, after the changes in the rules come into force, the entire registration procedure will take place at the registration address of the vessel owner in any division of the State Inspectorate for Small Vessels of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Small boat number

  • Was. Before the new rules for registering small boats came into force, in the 2016 edition, the special registration number included 7 characters, including 3 letters and 4 numbers. Shipowners applied it to both sides, with some technical features. So, it had to be located at a distance of ¼ of the length of the ship’s hull from the stem, and always in one line. The letters had to be at least 150 mm in height, 100 mm in width, and 15-20 mm in line thickness. When the design features of the vessel did not allow the owner to apply the number in accordance with the rules, the size and location of the registration number were determined by the registration authority.

  • Will. Now, after the change in 2017, a special registration number the vessel does not consist of 7 characters, but already of 11. It includes 2 letters, 4 numbers, and at the end the number of the region of the Russian Federation. For us it is RUS 54. It should be located in the same way - in one line, and on each side. It will need to be applied so that the geometric center of the mark is at a distance of ¼ of the length of the ship’s hull from the stem. As for the height of letters, width and thickness of lines, there are no innovations here. Everything is the same. If it is impossible to fulfill such requirements, then the place of application is also determined by the vessel’s registration authority, and this is entered into the ship’s ticket and register.

Duration of provision of public services

  • Was. As amended in 2016, all small vessels underwent the registration process or were refused this procedure - within 3 working days from the moment the relevant government authority received all the necessary documents.
  • The period for provision of public services from the date of receipt of the applicant’s documents until receipt of the result of the public service is no more than 3 working days. If grounds for suspending the provision of a public service are found in the applicant’s documents, the period for providing the public service may be extended by 30 working days.

State duty for exclusion (deregistration) from the register of small vessels

  • Was. Previously, such a fee was not levied.
  • Will. Now the state duty is set at 200 rubles.

Russian flag

  • Was. Previously, we had the right to put a flag on a ship, but were not obliged.
  • Will. Now State flag We not only have the right to carry the Russian Federation on board, but we are also obliged to do so.

Refusal of registration

The following points were added to the new rules of 2017:

  • Presence of signs of alteration or destruction of markings applied by the ship builder;
  • Submission by the applicant of documents listed as lost or stolen;
  • failure of the applicant to appear at the registration authority within a period exceeding 30 calendar days from the appointed date.

Expert opinion

Ferapontov Evgeniy Evgenievich, senior state inspector of the Novosibirsk Inspectorate Department, FKU “Center of GIMS of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for NSO”:

Another interesting point worth mentioning is that the ship’s ticket has changed since 2017. Now it is not a book, as it was before, but a sheet of A4 size, which will be filled on both sides.

This document will be called: “Ship ticket for a small vessel used for non-commercial purposes.” Below is a dub of this entry: English language: “VESSEL CERTIFICATE non-commercial small craft (20 meters overall length or less and no more than 12 persons on board).”

There will be a watermark on both sides of the ticket. In the center of the front side, in the form of a transparent backing, there is a stylized emblem of the GIMS of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia with a diameter of 8 cm.

An important fact is that you can take with you on the ship not the original, but a copy of the ticket, which must first be certified by the GIMS department.

Registration under the new rules has just begun, so there have been few applications and registrations yet. But I would like to note that everyone treats the registration process according to the new rules with understanding.

Compliance with the regulations in the field of small boats will help you safely travel through the most beautiful, vast expanses of water in our region and beyond.

Friends, in preparing the material we express our gratitude to the regional center of the GIMS of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the NSO. If you have any questions that you did not receive answers to from this article, write them in the comments or in ours, and we will definitely submit them to GIMS. The responses received will be posted here as an addition to the article.

Let's make a clear guide together - “How to understand the new rules for registering small vessels”!
