payment of the prescribed fee.
The above inspections shall be carried out in the first six months of the year in which they fall to

Upon the satisfactory outcome of the inspection and settlement of financial obligations the
Administration may issue a circulation licence according to the Powerboats Ordinance 2001 /

Procedure of Inspection
The below procedure need to be followed in order to smoothly arrange for the boat inspection:
1. The boat must first be registered in SBA’s boat registry and bear a valid certificate of
ownership before applying for inspection.
2. The owner or a person authorised by the owner may fill in and submit the application
form online through our website at the following link:
http://www.chrysanthou-maritime.com/
The same application form “MC/PB/001/2012 - Application for Survey”
can also be
downloaded from the website, completed and sent by email or fax to the following
email address: [email protected]
A confirmation email will be sent stating that your application has been received and
is under process. (kindly ensure that [email protected] is put on
the safe list of your email so that it won’t end up in spam folder.)
3. Another email or fax will be sent within max. seven working (7) days informing the
owner about the place and date of inspection.
4. The owner must make the boat available for inspection at the designated location and
date on its trailer. The boat must be able to be launched since inspection takes place
while boat is afloat as well and with engines starting. (Failure to attend at the
designated place/date without a 48h advance notice will result in a penalty equal to the
inspection fee).
5. Inspection fee has been set to 100euro + VAT and is payable in cash only to the
attending surveyor at the day of the inspection against a receipt. Payment is completed
prior the commencement of the inspection.
6. During the inspection the safety equipment as described later in this booklet and the
general condition of the boat and engine are checked along with boat’s documentation.
Documentation includes ALL paperwork related to the boat and engine(s) such as
Declaration of Conformity, Owner’s Manuals, Certificate of Ownership, (Circulation
7
(Ver. 0.5-2013)
Licence for existing boats) etc therefore a complete file must be present with all
available documents.
7. Upon completion of the inspection the surveyor will inform the owner as to the
compliance or not of the boat with the provisions of the Power Boats Ordinance 2001
and issue to the owner the form “MC/PB/003/2012 - Certificate of survey completion”.
8. For complying boats the original form “MC/PB/003/2012 - Certificate of survey
completion” signed and stamped shall be presented to the Administration for the
issuance of the boat’s circulation licence.
In the case of a category B powerboat the owner must also hold a permit to provide
services in accordance with the Foreshore Protection Ordinance, in order to have
the a powerboat circulation license renewed / re-issued and upon payment of the
prescribed fee.
9. In the case that the boat has been found not to comply, the form “MC/PB/004/2012 –
Notice of recommendation” is also issued to the owner, stating the reasons of the
non-compliance. Should the owner would like to proceed with another inspection at a
later date, a new application form “MC/PB/001/2012 - Application for Survey” will
have to be re-submitted and an additional inspection scheduled. Additional survey
fees apply as for the first inspection.

5.1
Important things to know
1. It is imperative that the boat is presented on its trailer so that the underwater hull part
may be examined.
2. The boat will definitely need to go waterborne.
3. The engine(s) must be able to properly start and run.
4. In case a boat has been inspected and found not to comply the owner is advised to
ensure that all deficiencies posed during the first inspection have been dealt with
properly before re-applying for a second inspection. The consultation and support of the
attending surveyor will be readily available at all times.
5. Expired pyrotechnics must be returned to the nearest police station for proper disposal.
6. Please try to be punctual with dates and times given for your boat’s inspection so that
delays are avoided.

7. Marking of the boat
According to the Powerboats Ordinance 2001 Reg.7-(2) the marking of the boat should be as
follows:
A powerboat shall bear its registration mark clearly and distinctively above the waterline on
each of its sides,
•
the height of each numeral and letter shall be equal and at least 20cm and be of an
appropriate width;
•
if, by reason of the small size of the powerboat, the application of above is not possible,
the height of each numeral and letter may be reduced to not less than 5cm and be of an
appropriate width;
•
the numerals and letters shall be placed above the middle of the height of the topsides
of the powerboat;
•
the colour of all of the numerals and letters shall be the same and shall be in sharp
contrast to that of the background, so that they shall be very easily discernible from a
long distance;
•
the competent authority, where it deems such action appropriate, may request the
marking of a powerboat to be at a different position and with different dimensions to
those described in sub-paragraphs above.
