Registration of a PVC inflatable boat in GIMS: rules, necessary documents for registration

Is it necessary to register PVC boats?

Since 2021, new rules for registering small-size vessels, which include PVC inflatable boats, have been in effect on the territory of the Russian Federation. Note that it does not matter what material the watercraft is made of - wood, metal, PVC, plastic and others. The key criterion for registration obligations is the technical characteristics of the boat. In addition, watercraft that are used for non-commercial purposes - tourism, hunting, fishing - are subject to registration.

A small vessel is considered to be a vessel whose length does not exceed 20 meters and can accommodate no more than 20 people on board. The weight of the craft should not exceed 200 kilograms, taking into account the weight of the motor. The engine power must be at least 8 kW (approximately 11 horsepower).

If your PVC boat meets the above criteria, it must be registered with the GIMS. Other watercraft are not subject to registration. To operate a registered vessel you will need the appropriate license. If the boat had an old registration, it is advisable to deregister it and register it again.

Documents required for boat registration

A PVC boat can be registered by both an individual and a legal entity. To register a watercraft, you must provide originals or certified copies of the following documents:

Passport.
Individual insurance number.
Documents confirming ownership of the boat.
Technical passport certified by the signature of the inspector.
Documents confirming ownership of the outboard motor.
Technical passport for the motor with the inspector’s signature.

Legal entities must have the following documents:

Documents for state registration of an organization.
Documents certifying that the watercraft is on the balance sheet of a legal entity.
An order that assigns a boat to an employee of the company.
Documents on the ownership of the vessel.
Documents confirming ownership of the motor.
Notarized papers for the right to operate a watercraft for an enterprise employee.

If the owner of the boat changes, the same list of documents is provided. In this case, the inspector checks the previous owner's ship ticket and whether the tax has been paid.

Boats that do not need to be registered in GIMS

Owners of inflatable PVC boats are worried whether they need to contact the state inspectorate and pay transport tax.

After all, a small inflatable or rowing boat on the water seems like such an insignificant means of transportation.

Vessels that do not need to be registered with the State Inspectorate:

boats purchased for the purpose of traveling in inland waters (rivers and lakes) of the Russian Federation;
a watercraft without a power plant and a cargo capacity of up to 200 kg inclusive;
a watercraft with a power plant power of up to 8 kW or 9.9 l/s;
rowing boats.

Registration of a rubber boat in GIMS

For fishing, hunting and various utility work, an inflatable rubber boat is simply necessary.

The law of the Russian Federation obliges the registration of catamarans, jet skis, yachts, boats and various inflatable boats that fall under the regulations of the State Inspectorate for Medical Information.

A rubber boat must be registered if:

weight more than 200 kg;
the installed engine has a power of more than 8 kW or 9.9 l/s;
The boat's registration certificate allows the installation of a motor with a parameter exceeding 10 l/s.

All rubber boats that do not fall within these parameters do not need to be registered with the State Property Management System.

But the rules for using rubber boats should not be violated.

On the water, an employee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation may demand from the shipowner a document granting the right to operate the boat.

When going out on the water, the owner of rubber boats must have:

Russian passport or a copy thereof;
document of ownership of the vessel;
driving license (for boats with engine power above 5 hp/3.58 kW);
oars;
life vest;
scoop.

Boat registration process

Before registering a boat, you must obtain a driver's license for a watercraft. To do this you will have to perform the following steps:

Go to your local GIMS office or a private organization that has a state license giving the right to train individuals in the operation of small boats.
Complete a training course that lasts approximately 1.5 months.
Pass an exam consisting of a theoretical and practical part.
In 10 days you will receive a boat driving license.

After this, you can safely proceed to registering the watercraft, which consists of the following steps:

Submit an application for registration in writing or electronically to the GIMS at your place of registration.
Get a receipt from GIMS to pay the state fee.
Bring the deflated boat and motor to an inspector for a technical inspection. For a fee, inspectors agree to carry out the exit procedure.
Provide a technical inspection report and other documents.
In three days you will receive a ship ticket. If there is a spare engine, data about it is also entered into the document.
Mark the side numbers on both sides of the boat.

There are special requirements for the room. It should be resistant to water and contrast with the background of the boat. Letters and numbers should have a height of 150-200 mm. Paint or stickers may be used.

What should an applicant prepare for boat registration?

The registration procedure is carried out at the GIMS small craft inspection department in the city (or region) where you want to use the boat.

The owner prepares a minimum package of documents:

contract of sale;
technical passport of the boat and motor;
a receipt for payment of fees for registration (1000 rubles) and for issuing a ship ticket (100 rubles);
application with a request for registration (a sample is available in GIMS);
your passport.

But in addition to the listed documents, the inspection may additionally ask for a receipt from the store (for new boats). And for used boats you will need to do something else:

the previous owner must deregister the boat. The GIMS will put a stamp on the ship’s ticket “Cancelled”
make a copy of this ticket and bring it to the State Inspectorate for Civil Migration along with all other documents

Sometimes the inspection also requires a copy of the previous owner’s passport.

We also draw your attention to the fact that the application must be submitted within 10 days after purchasing the boat, otherwise the inspectors will be able to fine you. All other documents can be submitted to GIMS later.

The age limit for applying to the inspectorate is 16 years.

If it is not possible to bring the original registration certificate of the craft, you should make a copy of it and have it notarized. A technical passport is an official document; it cannot be lost or thrown away.

The registration service is paid. According to the law, the owner is required to pay a state fee (in 2021 it is 1000 rubles for registration and 100 rubles for a ticket). Before submitting documents you must:

copy the details from the notice board in the inspection premises;
pay the fee through an ATM (or any banking institution);
Attach the receipt to the set of documents.

The application will not be considered without proof of payment.

How to obtain a license to drive a small motor boat?

Obtaining a driver's license is directly related to the registration of the vessel in the State Inspectorate for Motor Vehicles, since the license must be provided upon registration. To complete the document, the following requirements must be met:

Reach adulthood.
Provide a written examination by a narcologist and psychotherapist.
Take appropriate courses that provide documents for passing theoretical and practical exams.

Based on the results of the training, you will be issued a driver's license, which you must have with you when using a small boat in any body of water. The document gives the right to freely move through the waters of Russia. Rights must be stored in a waterproof case or sealed container to prevent damage.

Expert opinion

Before the motorboat season has arrived, and boating enthusiasts are checking their equipment, it’s time to do some theoretical preparation. As many people know, on January 1 of this year, new rules for registering small vessels used for non-commercial purposes came into force. Let's look at this issue in more detail.

new rules for registering small boats" />

Is it possible to register a boat without documents?

In some cases, documents for a watercraft may be missing, for example, if the owner has lost them or damaged them. But even under such circumstances, registration is quite possible.

The procedure begins as standard, with the submission of an application to the local GIMS with a request to register the boat. The document must explain the current situation. The inspection will refuse the applicant and a certificate will be issued. This document will be the basis for filing a lawsuit in court.

The essence of the claim is a request to obtain ownership of the boat and subsequent registration of the vessel with the state inspection. It is worth considering that the plaintiff will have to pay tax.

If the claim is satisfied, the applicant must re-apply to GIMS with a court decision. After that, boat transport is registered on a general basis. But without a positive court decision, the process is impossible.

Rules and features of registration of PVC inflatable boats

Registration in the register for small vessels.
Maintenance is carried out every five years from the date of registration. An out-of-hours technical examination will be needed if you want to visit another region or after repairs. No technical inspection - a fine of 500-1000 rubles.

But the main thing is the motor. The documents for the boat indicate the standards for the permissible engine. There are inflatable watercraft that allow the installation of powerful engines. For example, a three-seater inflatable motor boat can sail at speeds of up to 20 km/h, with a 10 hp motor.

What documents are issued after registration?

The result of registering a boat will be the issuance of two side numbers, a registration certificate and a technical inspection report. The certificate is a document giving permission to use PVC boats in the inland waters of Russia.

A ship's ticket is a document confirming ownership of a watercraft. It contains the technical parameters of the small vessel, side numbers and information about passing technical inspection.

Violation of the above requirements entails administrative liability in the form of a fine in the amount of 500 to 1,500 rubles. If your boat weighs less than 200 kilograms with equipment and is equipped with a motor with a power of less than 10.8 horsepower, then the vessel does not need to be registered.

How to determine the loaded weight of a boat

In the comments to the law it is written that “. The weight of the vessel is determined in accordance with GOST 19356-79 “Recreational rowing and motor vessels. Test methods."

Here is an excerpt from GOST: “The mass of a ship, fully equipped with ship equipment and supplies, should be determined by weighing.”

This means that the mass is not determined by the boat’s passport data. If, equipped with an outboard motor up to 10 hp, the boat weighs more than 200 kg, it requires registration with the GIMS.

How do you know if your vessel needs registration?

Any boat that weighs more than 200 kg must be registered. But with the new rules, a GIMS employee is required to determine the weight of the boat based on GOST R ISO8666-2012, in which the mass will be calculated taking into account the weight of the heaviest motor that is optimally suited for your boat’s power.

For a complete understanding, it is important to know that the weight is determined together with the motor, which is indicated in the product passport. Not only weight plays a role, the second condition for registration will be the engine power, which should not exceed more than 8 kW, in which case it will be a small watercraft.

Registration Features

Almost all watercraft must undergo this procedure, even polyvinyl chloride inflatable and ordinary boats must also be registered.

What is a small boat

A small boat is considered to be all boats that have a motor. If the boat weighs 220 kg and the power is 5 hp, then it is subject to registration with the GIMS.

A vehicle whose weight is less than 200 kg, with an installed motor whose power is 10.88 hp, should be considered a watercraft. However, in this case, the weight is measured without taking into account the motor, the equipment of the boat, and the cargo and passengers (not counting the person driving the boat) are also not taken into account. This rule applies to PVC boats. In other cases, which do not fit the characteristics described above, the craft will be considered a small vessel and will require registration from the State Inspectorate for Inspectorate.

TIN,
engine registration certificate,
receipt of payment of state duty in the amount of 1100 rubles.

Not at all. It's simple. Boat weight, engine weight. That's all. I just bought another boat for boating with the children and short fishing trips in the vicinity of the dacha. Plastic boat weighing 149. 9.9. with a water cannon 44. Gims is based 300 meters from my house in the summer. came over and showed me the equipment. they say no, registration is not required.

The rules for river navigation of small vessels regulate the legal and necessary actions of the steering craft. Here, unlike the previous point, everything is extremely simple, clear and without changes. Based on the rules for navigation of small vessels 2021-2021, navigators are obliged to:

GIMS Regulations

The State Inspectorate for Small Shipping exercises control over the registration of watercraft and compliance with the safety of people while on the water. This service can stop a small boat and check the owner's documents. Before meeting with inspectors, it is worth studying in detail the current rules of movement on inland waterways.

Rowing rubber boats, after recent changes in legislation, have been removed from the jurisdiction of the GIMS, however, each watercraft, regardless of parameters and type, must have life jackets according to the number of people there. Failure to comply with this rule will result in monetary penalties.

What is not considered a small boat

If a person wants to avoid registering a boat and save his personal time (the registration procedure lasts a week), he must choose a boat whose length does not exceed 20 m, weighs less than 200 kg, and has a passenger capacity of no more than 12 people. If these parameters are exceeded, registration with the state inspection is necessary.
