What Article 114¹⁴ regulates
Article 114¹⁴ of the Code of Administrative Offences of Georgia governs the administrative liability of a ship's agent for breaches of the procedure for formalising a vessel's entry into a seaport and/or departure from it. Specifically, the norm addresses the situation where the ship's agent fails to submit the appropriate documents concerning the vessel's entry into the port and/or departure from the port to the port state supervision and control service — either in a form that does not comply with the form established by the legislation of Georgia, or outside the established time limit.
The timely and correctly formalised submission of documents is one of the foundations of port administration: it is on the basis of these documents that the state supervision service exercises control over the entry and departure of vessels. A breach of this obligation by the agent is therefore not a mere formality — it complicates the regulation of the port and is answered by a clear sanction.
