88—Temporary registration

        (1)         The CE may, pending determination of an application for registration under Subdivision 1, grant temporary registration of a vessel.

        (2)         Temporary registration of a vessel under this regulation—

            (a)         remains in force—

                  (i)         until the application for registration is determined; or

                  (ii)         for a period, not exceeding 21 days, specified in the certificate of temporary registration,

whichever period is shorter; and

            (b)         may be granted on such conditions as the CE thinks fit.

        (3)         The CE must, on registering a vessel under this regulation, issue to the applicant for registration a certificate of temporary registration.

        (4)         If a vessel that is registered under this regulation is operated in the jurisdiction contrary to any condition of such registration, the owner of the vessel, and the operator of the vessel, are each guilty of an offence (but it is a defence to a charge of such an offence brought against the owner for the owner to prove that the vessel was operated without the owner's consent).

Maximum penalty: $750.
