Abstract

This Regulation makes provision on navigation in the Lombardia inland waters for the purposes of ensuring safety conditions and protecting such waters. Title II lays down precautionary measures to be applied by the captain, the crew and any other person on board. Article 11 regards protection of waters by prohibiting the discharge of any substance which might pollute those waters. Further provisions concern equipment to be kept on board, navigation routes, entering into ports and recreational uses of inland waters (which are subject to the prior authorization of the competent authority). Title VII of the Regulation is devoted to fishing and diving. The placing of meshes or fishing gear must not hinder navigation. Moreover, article 83 prohibits aquaculture in the area comprised within 50 metres from the border of navigational routes. Article 84 prohibits diving in certain zones referred therein.
