Bare Act

The Goa Marine Fishing Regulation (Relaxation of Time Limit for Registration of Vessels) Act, 1993

This Act provides an exemption by extending the deadline for boat owners to register their fishing vessels in Goa. It specifically targets the owners of unregistered vessels, giving them a 90-day grace period starting in November 2001 to submit their applications. During this window, captains can legally register their boats and pay penalties instead of facing penalties for non-compliance or refusal of registration. The penalty varies by boat size, with a fee of two thousand rupees for vessels up to 50 horsepower and five thousand rupees for larger boats, helping fishermen avoid legal issues.
