monitors you does not know anything about your boat and its owner. E can’t know. It’s not negligence of the controller, it’s the inefficiency of the system that doesn’t allow them to know whose boat, where it was registered, if there is something wrong with it administratively. administrative side.
The reason is simple. Unlike cars where there is a PRA
(Pubblico Registro Automobilistico) the database where are entered
all data on every vehicle registered in Italy,
which can be consulted online, so the data are immediately available,

Yet in 2013 in Article 1, paragraph 217 of the Stability Law.was established the “Central Telematic System of the Nautical boating.” What is it? The system was supposed to encapsulate

Three years have passed, but nothing has happened. And to think that the circular issued in early 2013 said that the “system will be operational by as early as the summer.”
