(a) The Dockmaster may require that any Vessel which sinks be removed from a Marina until appropriate repairs are made. A sunken Vessel must be removed from the Marina within 48 hours after oral or written notice by the Dockmaster to remove the Vessel. Upon request of the Permittee or owner, the Dockmaster may in writing extend the time for removal of the Vessel. If the Vessel is not removed within the allowed time, the Dockmaster may remove the Vessel or cause it to be removed and may recover the cost of the removal and storage or disposal of the Vessel from the Permittee or owner of the Vessel. If the Dockmaster determines that a sunken Vessel is discharging pollutants into the water or causing any other kind of emergency, the Department may take action to stop the cause of pollution and may remove or cause the Vessel to be removed, without prior notice to the Permittee or owner of the Vessel, and recover all costs associated with the containment, removal and storage or disposal of the Vessel from the Permittee or owner of the Vessel.
(b) If a Permittee or Vessel owner fails to pay for a Permit or the repair and service of a Vessel and equipment, the Department may detain the Vessel until such sum is paid. If such outstanding sum is not paid in full within 90 days, the Department may secure the Vessel with chains and/or locks, or cause the Vessel and equipment to be moved to a non-active slip or pier, be disposed of as abandoned property, or be sold at auction. The Permittee will be responsible for all costs related to storage, disposal, and sale of the Vessel and all outstanding obligations.
(c) The World's Fair Marina will assess a fee for Vessels that remain in the World's Fair Marina boat yard after the published winter season or after work on such Vessel has been completed. This fee shall be determined by the daily transient dockage rate in effect at the World's Fair Marina at the time of yard storage.
(d) Vessel trailers may be used for delivery and removal of owner's Vessel from the World's Fair Marina and/or storage of the Vessel at the World's Fair Marina during the winter season only. All trailers brought to the World's Fair Marina must be identified by the owner to Department staff. Empty trailers may not be stored at the World's Fair Marina and must be removed within 24 hours of launch of Vessel. The yard manager will coordinate with owners of Vessels that are to be hauled out and placed on trailer. Any empty trailer remaining at the World's Fair Marina for more than 24 hours will be disposed of as abandoned property, salvaged as scrap metal, or sold at auction. The Permittee will be responsible for all costs related to the removal, disposal and/or sale of the trailer.
(e) The Department may designate a limited number of storage spaces for trailers belonging to World's Fair Marina Permittees. Such storage shall be offered via waitlist, first to customers receiving winter land storage and then to customers receiving winter water storage. The World's Fair Marina accepts no responsibility for the security or condition of trailers stored on World's Fair Marina property. Permittees must secure their own trailers with a lock. Trailers must have valid Department of Motor Vehicles registration and must be clearly labeled with Vessel registration number printed on the trailer to be considered for storage. The Department reserves the right to cancel this arrangement for operational or safety needs at any time.
