Reporting Incidents and Accidents
When a marine incident occurs, such as an injury, collision, etc., you are required to inform the appropriate authority.
- In the event of an emergency, call 000 using a mobile phone.
- If an incident has occurred but you are not in immediate danger, (such as a minor collision) report it to Police.
Where death, injury or property damage occurs, report the incident details as soon as possible to the police officers present or to the police station nearest to where the accident took place.
If you’re involved in a marine incident
if you are directly involved in an accident, you must give assistance to the other person(s) involved, without endangering your own vessel, crew or passengers. You’ll need to give your name, address, identification and registration details to (when applicable) any person injured or his or her representative, to the owner of any property damaged and to the police (if present at the scene).
