Knowledge

- Higher Regional Court of Schleswig confirms liability for damages: Mooring lines only on a slip were not sufficient when extreme high water was forecast.  
- Owners must appoint a reliable person in their absence; harbour master or neighbours are not obliged without prior agreement.  
- Judgement stipulates from a maritime perspective that lines must be secured against high tides in the event of a storm surge warning; similar claims do not expire until 31 December 2026.

Law: Court judgement sets standards for the mooring of yachts

- A trailer boat was scrapped by the public order office in Dortmund after being parked in a public space for a long time, and the owner has to pay.  
- The owner could not be contacted due to a missing licence plate; a ten-day sticker went unnoticed, followed by disposal seven weeks later.  
- Legally, trailers are only allowed to park in public spaces for a limited period of time; however, the proportionality of scrapping them immediately is questionable.

Long-term parked trailer boat: public order office charges for disposal

- Firing distress signals without an emergency is prohibited and can be punished with up to five years imprisonment or a fine.  
- Expired distress signalling devices may not be used for private purposes or disposed of via household waste, the fire brigade or the usual collection points.  
- Legal disposal is carried out for a fee by dealers who are willing to take back the product or by hazardous goods forwarders to authorised disposal companies.

Signalling equipment: Rescue operation and investigation after missile launch without need

- Customs discover around 5,000 litres of red, tax-privileged diesel in Kiel harbour motor yacht and impose an energy tax of over 4,800 euros.
- Criminal tax proceedings were initiated against the 39-year-old German skipper on suspicion of tax evasion.
- Red diesel is only permitted for certain purposes in Germany; customs authorities are carrying out more checks on pleasure craft and yachts at the start of the water sports season.

Red diesel: Attention, control!

- The Federal Fiscal Court categorises even expensive mobile homes as items of everyday use and excludes them from speculation tax.  
- The decisive factor for the tax liability is the function as an object of use with typical depreciation, not the price, luxury character or financial situation.  
- For yachts, the judgement is only a limited signal: a general new tax assessment of leisure objects cannot be derived from it.
