Pleasure Craft Arrival and Report Regulations Updated to Enable Electronic Reporting

The 2026 amendment regulations clarify that pleasure craft operators can now submit arrival reports electronically rather than in paper form under the 1996 Pleasure Craft Regulations. The changes remove outdated references and update cross-references in the Ship’s Report Importation and Exportation by Sea Regulations 1981. These modifications streamline the reporting process for vessel arrivals in UK waters while maintaining existing compliance requirements.
