  • In accordance with the limitations imposed by the State concession for the use of the dock for technical reasons strictly related to the main launching and hauling activity, parking is forbidden.
  • Should technical reasons arise to justify the permanence and parking (breakdown, unfavourable weather conditions, etc.), each user will be entitled to moor for a limited period of 12 hours, subject to the Management’s approval and to the delivery of a copy of the valid navigation licence and insurance policy.
  • If the above-mentioned technical reasons should persist for more than 12 hours, users may extend the period of parking in the dock upon specific authorisation to be received from the dock management; in this case, the user shall communicate the specific reason for the impediment that has arisen and is persistent, and the time needed to solve the technical problem that has arisen.

Art. 7 – Obligations of the User

 

The User is directly responsible for the strict observance of the laws, of the Terms of Service and regulations concerning the administrative regime of the ships, customs, police and security, as well as of the possible dispositions and particular instructions given by the Management.

 

Any Personnel detecting and/or contesting infringements on the part of the User must immediately inform the Management, which, if necessary, will inform the competent Authorities. In any case, the Company reserves the right to adopt special measures against the Users, i.e. to remove both the boat and those responsible. Notwithstanding to the sanctions established in general terms and falling within the competence of the Marine Authority, the Company shall publicise the behavioural prescriptions and the relative sanctions established, to the extent of its competence, to implement the provisions by the competent Marine Office.

 

The User is also obliged to take appropriate measures to protect himself and his property from theft, fire, damage and the like.

 

All the units using the dock must be insured with a “compulsory for civil liability deriving from leisure boating” policy, for the minimum legal limits, according to the type of unit. A copy of the policy, and of the subsequent renewals, shall be delivered to the Company, or exhibited at the request of the Personnel, who may request the integration of its value, if deemed inadequate. In case the User intends to provide his unit with an additional insurance coverage for “damage to the private craft”, the policy shall contain an express clause of renunciation of the insurance company to compensation in case of damage to the unit or to the goods located on or inside it towards the Company and/or third parties entrusted, sub-entrusted or taking over the management of the dock for any reason.

 

In case of lack of insurance coverage, or of insufficient insured value, the Management may deny access to the Merchant Navy.

 

Art. 8 – Limits of Liability

 

The Company shall always be held not accountable for the damages to people and things within the Merchant Navy caused by the Users and/or by third parties, even if unknown, or by things and animals.

 

The Company provides a general surveillance service on the facilities and installations but does not assume any obligation towards the owners of the boats or cars and is not liable for any thefts or damages, even partial, that may occur within the Merchant Navy, including those on board of the units, vehicles, or inside the Merchant Navy’s real estate units, since both the boats and the cars and the objects contained in them are not entrusted for custody.

 

The Company is also not liable for damages to persons and property within the Merchant Navy in case of adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, riots, vandalism, war events, strikes, fires, unavailability of the premises and force majeure or accidental events.

 

Similarly, the Company assumes no liability for personal injury resulting from the tortious acts of others and, in any case, from unforeseeable or unavoidable events.

 

Similarly, the Company is not liable for any fires that may occur on board the boats, even if propagated by another boat. Each User shall eventually provide for the insurance coverage that he/she deems appropriate for the protection of his/her person and property. The Company is willing to cooperate, in compliance with the laws in force and within the limits of the means at its disposal, in the identification of possible responsible persons.

 

NAVIGATION IN THE PORT AREA – PARKING

 

Art. 9 – Entry and exit from the Merchant Navy – Navigation in the harbour area

 

The entrance to the dock and the transit in the access channel are exclusively allowed to the boats using the launching and hauling services.

 

Boats wishing to use the company’s services, in order to access the dock, must apply for prior authorisation to the competent office – TEL: +39 081 19042074 – email: [email protected] from 08,30 to 17,00 on Mondays to Fridays, at least 24 hours before the day on which the requested activity is to be carried out. Entry into the Merchant Navy is allowed only to vessels that are in a seaworthy condition, i.e. in a condition to navigate safely according to the type and model of the vessel, with prior consent by connecting to VHF channel 77. Possible units in difficulty or in trouble that need to enter the Merchant Navy must ask for the help of the Direction which, in agreement with the Marine Authority, will provide the most suitable solution to face the emergency. During the manoeuvres to enter and exit the Merchant Navy and during all internal movements, the units must:

 

  1. Follow the centreline of the access channel;
  2. Keep to starboard when crossing with other units;
  3. Keep safe distances of 1.5 times your own length in case of equal course;
  4. Give way to outgoing units.
  5. Must not exceed the maximum safe speed of 4 knots.

 

Navigation in port waters must be carried out using only mechanical propulsion or rowing. Private craft propelled exclusively by sail shall:

 

  1. a) While exiting, be towed out of the port waters by motor units;

 

  1. b) While entering, request – if equipped – via VHF CH 77, or via telephone, the assistance of the unit mentioned in the previous letter a), keeping a safe distance from the harbour entrance while waiting for the towing vehicle: in any case, the waiting area shall not affect the safety of manoeuvres of other entering or exiting units. If it is impossible to carry out what is provided for by the present letter b), the sailing vessel must navigate in order to reduce the edges to the minimum, always avoid hindering the navigation of other units, under the supervision of the Management and considering the weather conditions.

 

The Captains of the units in general must take all precautions and measures of prudence and safety in order to prevent situations of danger and/or damage to third parties and/or the port facilities.

 

While navigating in the Merchant Navy ‘s water area, a safe speed must be maintained – i.e. the speed which does not constitute a danger, disturbance or element of wave motion and/or water agitation which could cause damage to other navigating units or moorings – and, in any case, it must not exceed 4 (four) knots.

 

Boats assigned to port services for proven necessity are excluded from this limitation.

 

It is forbidden to use jet skis or other similar means in the port unless specifically authorised by the Management and in compliance with the speed limits.

 

Art. 10 – Boat manoeuvres

 

All manoeuvres within the Merchant Navy must be carried out in full compliance with the instructions given by the staff, who may order the movement of the boats and the mooring movements necessary in case of emergency, for particular and motivated needs related to the Merchant Navy ‘s operations or for provisions issued by the Marine Authority.

 

In case of absence of the owner and his employees, or in case of refusal by the same to carry out the manoeuvres and mooring movements indicated by the Personnel, the Company may provide directly with the use of its own Personnel and/or trusted third parties.

 

Art. 11 – Parking regulations

 

In case of prolongation of the stay as indicated in art. 6, each User, also in transit, is obliged to deliver to the Merchant Navy offices a copy of the navigation licence, of the valid insurance policy and of the identification document of the person in charge of the boat.

 

Each User is obliged to report immediately any change and can only use the place reserved to him, with absolute prohibition to moor elsewhere – except for express indication and/or necessity, also management necessity, of the Management.

 

Art. 12 – Mooring procedures

 

It is forbidden to all units, except in case of force majeure, to drop anchors inside the dock. The units have to moor exclusively to the bollards, to the catenaries specifically provided, according to the indications, which will be given by the Merchant Navy staff, and they are responsible for any damage caused by them.

 

It is forbidden to moor at the piers or docks with the hauling lines of the catenaries. Such mooring must be carried out with the user’s own ropes and cables of adequate diameter and in good condition.

 

Each User is responsible for the safety of his own unit in relation to its mooring arrangements.

 

Efficient wings must be placed on the sides, adequate to the size of the unit and in sufficient number to avoid damage to their own and other vessels. The use of wing covers is also recommended.

 

It is forbidden to keep protrusions on board.

 

Mooring next to jetties and/or quays will be allowed only with prior authorisation of the staff, and in any case in areas where mooring can be carried out in this way, i.e. away from areas with traps.

 

In case of temporary and short absence from the boat, the gangway must be retracted or raised; in case of prolonged absence, it must be completely retracted.

 

The Merchant Navy staff of Torre Annunziata may order the reinforcement of the moorings, if considered unsuitable, charging the User with the relevant expenses.

 

Art. 13 – Cooperation

 

The User, his crew or the keeper of the units must not hinder the manoeuvres of the other units and cannot refuse to cooperate, to widen or tighten the mooring, or to do anything else necessary to facilitate the movements of the other units.

 

Art. 14 – Safe parking

 

All the units entering the port must be in perfect efficiency for the safety of the stationing and in compliance with the prescriptions issued in this regard by the competent Marine and Flag Authorities.

 

The Management, if there are well-founded reasons, may request that inspections be carried out on board of the units by the competent Marine Authority.

 

If a unit is in a state of abandonment or runs the risk of sinking or causing damage to surrounding units and equipment, the User or any custodian shall be notified immediately so that the problem can be addressed. If the latter fails to do so within the terms established by the Owner – or in case of urgency – the boat will be hauled ashore at the expense of the owner, notwithstanding any other remedy, also according to the law, that the Merchant Navy may have against the User.

 

It is forbidden to start the propellers when the boat is moored.

 

Art. 15 – Access restrictions

 

The Company has the right to temporarily restrict or regulate the access of the Users to certain portions of the water and/or land areas of the Merchant Navy, in order to carry out works, to perform public or private events or for other reasons related to the operation and commercial use of the Merchant Navy.

 

The Users are obliged to respect such temporary limitations or disciplines.

It is forbidden to obstruct and/or modify the quays, piers and jetties and all areas not expressly destined for this purpose with on-board equipment (hoods, gangways, lifebuoys, rubber dinghies, wings, etc.) in any way, with objects or materials of any kind. In the event of non-compliance, the staff will remove the unauthorised items and clean the area concerned, at the expense of the User responsible.

 

It is forbidden to deposit bait and live or dead fish in the waste bins, or to abandon them in the port area.

All the pedestrian paths of the Merchant Navy are for public access and use.

 

The access to the piers is forbidden to any kind of motor vehicle, except for those used by the service staff.

In particular, the Users and the occasional public must remove their pets’ droppings (urine and excrements) and take all precautions to avoid that the presence of animals can cause nuisance to anyone.

 

Considering that the whole area of the Merchant Navy is characterised by the presence of docks and piers with free board, and necessarily without railings or other forms of protection against the risk of falling into the water and that, moreover, the docks and piers may be usually crossed by mooring lines, electric cables, the pedestrian and/or vehicular access (including velocipedes, etc.) to the above mentioned areas is always at the Users’ risk, with explicit exclusion of any liability of the Company in case of accident. For anything not expressly indicated, Users shall comply with the signs present on site.

 

SAFETY REGULATIONS

Article 25 – Anti-pollution equipment and requirements

 

Moored units shall comply with the following requirements:

  • In case of accidental spillage of hydrocarbons on the surface of the water or on the quays, piers and jetties, the person in charge must immediately inform Management and, at the same time, start to provide the reclamation or the containment of the spillage with all the means at their disposal, as well as to inform the users of the nearby boats; the reclamation of the affected area will be carried out by Management;
  • Each vessel shall check, before mooring, that there are no residues of oil leaks in the bilge or that there are no leaks in progress.

 

Art. 26 – Fire safety

 

The Merchant Navy is equipped with fixed and mobile fire-fighting systems, and the staff is properly trained to intervene in case of fire or serious pollution, in order to limit risks and damages, while waiting for or replacing the possible intervention of the competent Authorities and of the relevant Public Safety Forces.

 

In such circumstances, the Management has the widest powers and faculties and its provisions must be compulsorily and immediately respected by all Users.

 

In particular, the moored units must comply with the following preventive and general provisions, with the Management having the right at any time to request the competent Authority to carry out inspections on board and to adopt measures in the event of non-compliance with the aforementioned provisions:

 

  1. In case of spillage of hydrocarbons in the water or on the docks, piers or wharves, the User who is responsible, or in the absence of the responsible party, any other User who becomes aware of the incident must immediately inform the Staff and promptly take all appropriate measures to contain and limit the damage, informing the Users of nearby units and all those who are on site;
  2. Before starting the petrol engine, the User must ensure that the engine compartment is ventilated;

  8. In particular, the Management, according to its prudent judgement, has the right to immediately disembark the unit with fire on board and to remove it from the Navy.

 

The expenses related to the intervention in case of a fire, as well as the eventual compensation for the damages caused to third parties or to the harbour’s furniture and works, are charged to the responsible User.
