After years of waiting, false promises by politicians, and postponements, the computerized recreational boating registry is finally up and running. Just as with automobiles, vessel data will finally be kept, digitized, on a Central Telematics Archive (Actn). And no longer in the paper records hitherto jealously guarded by the various Port Authorities around the Boot.
FROM JANUARY 1, 2020, EVEN THE “OLD” BOATS
For now, only new boats will be automatically enrolled in the new registry, while starting January 1, 2020, non-new boats can be enrolled. And it will progressively decrease at-sea inspections by the Finance Guard, who with such a tool will no longer have to stop a boat to know its ownership.
STED ARRIVES.
The “mirror” of the Central Archives is the Sailor’s Telematics Desk (STED). That is, a system of offices where registrations are to be made and which will be used to take care of all kinds of administrative paperwork. For now, the active STEDs are the Harbor Master’s Offices and provincial DMV offices, to which agencies and consulting firms are being added as they apply.
HOW TO REGISTER THE BOAT AND HOW MUCH IT COSTS
For new boats, the rigmarole is as follows.: shipyards are required to notify UCINA of the chassis number of the unit built (this step is needed, we were told by the Confindustria Nautica-which has been fighting for years in favor of the establishment of the Registry-to “homogenize” a complex world, where the phenomenon of self-building is more substantial than in the world of cars), and the latter will notify the DMV.
When going to register the boat with STED, the chassis number declared by the owner must match the one already in the Archives. Once registration has taken place, the chassis number will be deleted and no more boats can be registered using that number.
As for boats already registered in the old way, we said, registration can take place starting next January: it will not be free. In case of either new hull registration or re-registration, the fee will be 35.38 euros (plus 16 euros stamp duty).
