Changes – 1 January 2012

There are new stowage requirements for life jackets on recreational boats.

 Boat owners or skippers must give each person on board information

about where the safety equipment is kept and clearly sign where

 life jackets are stowed.

Find out more information about the life jacket stowage requirements.

The life jacket stowage changes are part of a number of changes made by Maritime Safety Queensland to jet ski and boating rules.

The changes are to licensing and safety equipment requirements and aim to reduce the chance of a marine incident occurring.
