(1) For the purposes of section 39 of the Act, a registered person may, no later than 3 months after the expiry of the registration of the vessel, apply to the Safety Director to renew the registration of the vessel registered in the name of the registered person by paying the applicable fee for boating facilities and safety education.

See regulation 5 of the Marine Safety (Fees) Regulations 2021 for the fee payable for boating facilities and safety education.

(2) On an application under subregulation (1), the Safety Director must renew the registration of the vessel for a period not exceeding one year.

(3) The expiry date of a renewed registration must be calculated as if the renewal had commenced on the day after the day recorded in the register as the expiry date of the registration.

(4) To avoid doubt, subregulations (1) and (2) do not have the effect of retrospectively registering a vessel.
