## What Article 114⁵ regulates

Article 114⁵ of the Code of Administrative Offences of Georgia establishes liability for breaches of the safety rules for inland waterway transport, of the navigation rules and of the requirements connected with the registration of floating vehicles. The norm concerns everyone who operates floating craft on inland waters — individual boatmen and organisations that use such equipment alike. The article unites two directions: on the one hand, the safety of navigation itself; on the other, the rules of state registration and marking that make each vehicle identifiable.

### What fine is imposed for a breach of the safety rules?

Under the first part of Article 114⁵ this violation is punished by a fine of 500 GEL, and on repeated commission — 1,000 GEL.

### What happens when an unregistered vehicle is operated?

Operating a floating vehicle not entered in the register is fined 500 GEL for a natural person and 1,000 GEL for a legal person, and on repetition — 1,000/2,000 GEL.

### How is the absence of a name and number punished?

A first commission is limited to a warning; on repetition a natural person pays 100 GEL and a legal person 200 GEL.

### Is suspended registration different from no registration?

Under this article both cases are punished alike — 500/1,000 GEL for a first offence and 1,000/2,000 GEL on repetition.
