Where death or injury occurs, or damage to property and the property owner is not present, report the incident details as soon as possible to the police officers present or to the police station nearest to where the accident took place.

Vessel operators involved in an accident must give assistance to other persons involved, without endangering their own vessel, crew or passengers.

They must give their name, address, identification and registration details to (where applicable) any person injured, his or her representative, to the owner of any property damaged and to the police present at the scene.

Refer to safety duties for further information about reporting incidents.
