Advisory
In light of the current weather conditions, the Marine Police would like to advise all boat owners to check their vessels and make sure that they are properly secured to their moorings. Also, all boats should have their registration number and Marine & Ports decal displayed. This will assist the Marine Police in identifying the rightful owner of a boat if it does manage to break free and is subsequently recovered by Marine Police.
