An updated hazard map and customs maritime controlled area has been released.
This follows recent incidents of vessels entering restricted waters without permission.
The map was agreed upon following a meeting of stakeholders from the yachting community, the IBSU, the Port Authority, Marine Unit of the Royal Montserrat Police Service (RMPS) and the Governor’s office. The map is intended as a useful tool to educate mariners and other interested stakeholders that operate in Montserrat waters.
The illustration provides information to show where yachts and other pleasure boats are allowed to enter, berth, moor or anchor within Montserrat’s waters.
