39 Markings for particular tenders

(1) This section applies to a tender to a Queensland regulated ship, if the tender is not required to be registered because the tender is operated only within a radius of 2n miles from the ship.

(2) The owner or master of the tender must ensure the tender is marked in the way required under this section.

Maximum penalty—50 penalty units.

(3) The tender must be clearly, legibly and permanently marked on its exterior, above the waterline when the ship is afloat, with the word ‘TENDER’ and the registration number of the ship to which the tender is a tender.

(4) The markings required under subsection (3) must be in characters at least 75mm high.

(5) However, if a tender can not be practicably marked on its exterior in the way required under subsection (3) or in the size of characters required under subsection (4) , it must be marked on its interior in the largest characters practicable.

(6) If a tender does not permanently attend the same ship but is used by its owner to attend a number of ships owned by the owner, the tender may be marked with the owner’s name instead of the marking or number required under subsection (3) .
