Current situation of boat registration in the
Netherlands

• Only fast (gt 20 Km/h) motorboats (recreational
  use) are registered in a special stand alone
  register at the RDW
• Other boats like sailing boats or yachts, slow
  motorboats, etc. are not registered
• Information in this register is unreliable
  because
• No controlled input in the register
• The data input of the register is to be
  determent by the owner and there are no
  verification possibilities
• When a boat is sold, the new owner starts a new
  registration instead of change the current
  registration (transfer)
• The unique identifying data is optional because
  older boats dont have a CIN or HIN
• A lot of private initiatives to register boats on
  a voluntary basis
• www.botenregister.nl, www.intresy.com,
  www.opsporingsregister.nl, www.stolenboats.nl,
  www.isgestolen.nl, etc

Possible improvements in boat registration

• Improving central registration of recreational
  boats
• Better legislation regarding registration
• Better availability of information on stolen
  boats for law enforcement
• Involving the boat manufacturers, importers,
  resellers and service points
• A unique identification protocol like HIN for
  older boats
• A registration liability for recreational boats
• Good definition of boat types (what is a fast
  motorboat?)

Registration of stolen boats

• Registration of stolen boats private initiative
  by VbV (www.isgestolen.nl)
• No direct connection to the police officers in
  the field
• The RDW has a central register for stolen
  non-registered goods (bicycles, work material and
  agricultural tractors
• This RDW register has a good and existing link to
  the police officer in the field
• VbV and the RDW are going to run a project to
  connect these two registers
• The result will be that a stolen boat reported
  to the VbV will be send to the RDW central
  register on this instance the information is
  available for all the police officers in the
  field.

How do we try to achieve better registration?

• The improvement will be done in two steps
• In cooperation with VbV we are going to run a
  project to transfer the reported stolen boat to
  a central register and make this central register
  available to the police.
• Collectively give advise to the Ministry of
  Transport and Water Management on how the
  registration system can be improved. This is done
  by the insurance companies, recreational boat
  sector, police, RDW etc. This advise has
  contributed to commitment off the secretary of
  state of the ministry of Transport an Water
  Management that she will soon take a decision on
  the improvement of the registration system
