4. Procedure for boat registration
(1) The owner of every boat, shall within the period specified in regulation 6, submit to the registering officer of the zone in which such boat is situated an application for boat registration form which shall be completed by the owner to the satisfaction of the registering officer.
(2) The registering officer shall thereupon assign the boat a set of reference marks consisting of either two or three parts.
(3) The first part shall be the letter or letters for the zone as set out in the Fourth Schedule.
(4) The second part of the reference marks shall be a number consisting of three figures.
(5) The first boat to be registered in any zone shall be assigned the number 001 and each boat to be registered subsequently shall be assigned a number one greater than its immediate predecessor in registration.
(6) The third part of the set of reference marks shall only be assigned to those special categories of owners or users as set out in the Eighth Schedule.
5. Certificate of registration
(1) After assigning of a set of reference marks to a boat the registering officer shall enter in the register of boat registrations such particulars pertaining to the boat as are set out in the Third Schedule and shall complete a certificate of registration which shall be given to the owner.
(2) Certificates of registration shall be issued free of charge for boats already operating in Botswana on the date of commencement of these Regulations:
Provided that an application for registration is made within six months from that date.
(3) The fees payable for the registration of boats operating in the country after the commencement of these Regulations shall be the fees set out in the Tenth Schedule.
(4) When the ownership of a boat changes or a boat is transferred out of a zone in which it is registered, such boat shall be re-registered by the new owner or in the new zone to which it is transferred.
(5) Certificates of registration which become invalidated by change of ownership or interzonal transfer shall be surrendered to the registering officer who carried out the re-registration.
6. Period during which registration must be effected
The period during which registration must be effected shall be as follows—
(a) for boats already situated in Botswana, between the date of commencement of these Regulations and 31st March, 1987;
(b) for boats which have to be re-registered as a result of change of ownership, within seven days after the change of ownership has been effected;
(c) for boats which have to be re-registered as a result of interzonal transfer, within seven days after their arrival in the zone authorised under the interzonal movement permit issued under these Regulations.
(1) Within seven days of the issuing of a certificate of registration, the owner of the boat shall cause two sets of reference marks assigned to the boat to be painted or otherwise permanently affixed, one on each side of the prow, or foremost part of the boat as close to the top of the hull and front of the boat as possible.
(2) The reference marks shall be coloured black, shall be arranged horizontally on a white background and shall conform to the specifications illustrated in the Ninth Schedule.
8. Destruction or loss of a registered boat
If any registered boat is broken up, destroyed, irretrievably lost or becomes permanently useless as a boat or is exported from Botswana, the owner shall forthwith give to the registering officer in whose zone the boat is registered notice of its breaking up, destruction, loss, condition or export, as the case may be, and shall deliver to such registering officer the certificate of registration and the registering officer shall thereupon endorse as cancelled the entry of the boat in the register of boat registrations.
(1) When a boat has to be re-registered as a result of change of ownership, the new owner may elect to retain the reference marks assigned to the previous owner and shall advise the registering officer accordingly and thereupon the registering officer shall endorse only the change of ownership in the register of boat registrations.
(2) In the event that the new owner elects to request new reference marks, all details applicable to the boat under the previous owner must be cancelled out of the register of boat registrations.
(3) Irrespective of the reference marks used as a result of a change of ownership, the new owner shall obtain a fresh certificate of registration and shall surrender the old certificate of registration to the registering officer.
(4) The option to retain, or not to retain, a boat’s old reference marks must be exercised by a new owner at the time of re-registration and will thereafter lapse.
When a boat has been re-registered as a result of an interzonal transfer, the registering officer carrying out the re-registration shall transmit the invalidated certificate of registration to the registering officer of the zone where it was issued and thereupon the registering officer of the zone from which the boat was transferred shall cancel the entry in his register of boat registration.
11. Duplicate certificate of registration
(1) Whenever the registering officer is satisfied that the certificate of registration issued to a boat owner—
(a) has been accidentally defaced or rendered illegible in some material particular, and the said certificate of registration is surrendered to him; or
(b) has been lost or destroyed,
he shall issue a duplicate certificate of registration to the owner with the word “duplicate” printed across it, and the duplicate so issued shall have the same effect as the original certificate.
(2) If at any time thereafter, the lost original certificate is found or its whereabouts are ascertained by the owner, he shall take all reasonable steps to recover possession of it and return it to the same registering officer who issued the duplicate, or where he cannot recover the possession of it for reasons beyond his control he shall report the matter to the registering officer who issued the duplicate, and to a police officer.
(3) A fee must be paid for the issue of a duplicate certificate of registration as set out in the Tenth Schedule hereto.
12. Prohibition of interzonal movement without a permit
(1) From the date of the commencement of these Regulations, boats and aquatic apparatus shall be operated only within the zones in which they are situated at that date.
(2) No boat or aquatic apparatus may thereafter be transferred from one zone to another unless the owner thereof has obtained an interzonal movement permit as prescribed under these Regulations.
13. Procedure for obtaining interzonal movement permit
(1) An interzonal movement permit may be obtained on application to the registering officer of the zone in which the boat or aquatic apparatus is registered.
(2) The registering officer shall upon any application made in any area declared under section 6 of the Act, to be an infested area, require that the boat or aquatic apparatus, as the case may be, shall be inspected and treated before the issue of the interzonal movement permit.
(3) A registering officer issuing an interzonal movement permit may direct the owner of a boat or aquatic apparatus to present such boat or aquatic apparatus for further inspection and treatment at the registering office in the zone to which they are being transferred or at any one or more sites enroute thereto.
(4) The owner or person in charge of a boat or aquatic apparatus shall afford any inspection officer every facility for conducting an inspection or treatment.
From the date of the commencement of these Regulations no boat or mokoro or aquatic apparatus may be imported into Botswana unless the owner thereof is in possession of an import permit as prescribed under these Regulations.
15. Procedure for obtaining import permit
(1) An owner wishing to import a boat or aquatic apparatus into Botswana shall submit to the Director of Water Affairs, an application for boat registration and import permit, which shall be completed by the owner to the satisfaction of the Director of Water Affairs.
(2) The Director of Water Affairs may issue an import permit and registration certificate and may prescribe such conditions as to the route to be followed by the boat as he may deem necessary and requiring inspection and treatment to be carried out on such boat or aquatic apparatus:
Provided that any breach of such conditions shall render the permit invalid and the boat or aquatic apparatus subject to confiscation or destruction.
(3) Fees for the issue of an import permit shall be paid as set out in the Tenth Schedule hereto.
(4) Where an import permit authorises the movement of a boat or aquatic apparatus through one or more zones, it will not be necessary to obtain an additional interzonal movement permit.
Only those ports of entry, places of inspection and treatment which are listed in the Fourth Schedule hereto may be used for importation of any boat or aquatic apparatus.
17. Exemption of boats and aquatic apparatus in transit

(2) Where upon any such inspection a boat is found not to have been registered as required under these Regulations or not to be in the zone in which it is registered or to be carrying false reference marks such boat and any aquatic apparatus in it may be confiscated forthwith and the owner thereof shall be guilty of an offence.
19. Restriction as to operation of boats
