The case summarized the boat driver’s test in Norway may be invalid in some European countries due to new boat certificates requirements. The Royal Norwegian Boat Association believes the boat driver test is too simple and that a practical test is needed. Germany and France have already introduced an ICC certificate as a standard minimum requirement to keep a boat in their waters. The Norwegian Maritime Directorate is working to prevent Norwegian boaters from being denied entry into other European countries and is considering changing the requirements for the boat driver test. ———————————— The summary is made by a Ki service from Openai. The content is quality assured by news’s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publishing. – The boat driver test is too simple. It is like a light-legged secondary school task. On a boat storage in Arendal, Helge Aker looks forward to a newly polished hull. He and boatmate Helge Paulsen have sailed a lot abroad. None of them have heard that the boat driver test, which a million Norwegians have completed, is now not good enough for sailing in some European countries. – Norway is actually a worst as it is today. We are among the few nations where you can get proof that you can run a boat of up to 50 feet without putting a foot on board a boat. This is stated by Stig Hvide Smith, secretary general of the Royal Norwegian Boat Association. What do you mean? Discuss in the comments section at the bottom of the case. Not impressed Smith is not impressed with Norwegian maritime authorities during the day. – The Norwegian Maritime Directorate has slept for an hour. He says that on the basis that European countries will now be in the process of introducing new minimum requirements for a boat certificate. -It is only a matter of time before you have to have an ICC certificate to sail in other European countries. Today, there are four types of certificates for recreational boat drivers in Norway: Boat driver’s license, which is only theoretical. Over a million Norwegians have a boat driver’s license. ICC certificate, often called international boat driver’s license. Has a theory part and a practical part. High -speed certificate. Mandatory if you are going to keep a recreational boat that can achieve a speed of 50 knots or more. Leisure skipper. Consists of a more advanced theory part and a practical part. Norwegians with driver’s license can already be stopped on the border with both Germany and France, according to Smith. Dag Inge Aarhus is the communications director of the Norwegian Maritime Directorate, who prepares most of the laws and regulations on the sea.

He claims it is working hard to avoid a situation where Norwegian boaters are denied entry into other European countries. – We are closely monitoring what is happening in Europe in this field, and have certainly not slept per hour. New rules are considered Stig Hvide Smith itself in the European Boating Assisiation (EBA), which is the European Boat Association. Here we are working on convincing the EU to introduce new, common standards to be allowed to run a leisure boat. – The most important thing here is that everyone who is going to carry boats must go through a practical test where they learn to handle a boat of over 26 feet. A bit like driving to the car patch. Students take the boat driver test. Photo: news must consider new requirements Dag Inge Aarhus in the Norwegian Maritime Directorate says Norway must consider changing the requirements for the boat driver test if the EU decides on common rules. – Is it true that Norwegians with regular boat proofs in the future can be stopped on the Swedish border? -If you have an ordinary boat driver’s license and there is a requirement for an ICC certificate in, for example, Sweden, then it can have some consequences. But such rules have not been introduced today. Aarhus points out that in the future there may be a common regulatory framework. – If the EU decides on a common regulatory framework, then we are positive about it. Boat port in Arendal. Photo: news Fewer fatal accidents in 2024 died 39 people in connection with the use of a recreational boat, where over a third of these accidents occurred while the boat was moored. Dag Inge Aarhus says the Norwegian Maritime Directorate is considering several things to reduce the accident figures. – One of the measures is to look at whether the boat driver test is good enough or whether to make changes, for example with a practical test. Leisure boats Photo: Nina Kristiin Vraa \/ news Royal Norwegian Boat Association believes today’s requirements for the boat driver test should be tightened. – The new European requirements are a possible contributor to making leisure boat life safer. Today, anyone can take the boat driver test and run large boats up to 50 knots – without a practical test, says Smith. Hello! Welcome to dialogue at news.
