Vic: I think Richard's referring to the new DEKPA nonsense, rather than the fine reported by rtboss.
Got the new DEKPA today in Preveza

I was in Kanonis yard when the boat was brought in .What the owners reported to us is what I wrote above. Obviously what I know from the owners mouth might be wrong and your friend of the owner could be right. and as you will see in my post there's a ? Mark about insurance.

Not sure why you have a ? When the guy told you he was fined for not having any .

Obviously it not just being dyslexic then.
Please yourself what you believe it of little interest to me .
My problem is, I still have not got a Dekpa without a ICC which is my biggest concern .
And perhaps the CA in their wisdom might mention it to the Greek minister that they have not signed article/reg. 40 so why ask for a ICC.

We were told it can be renewed before the date, just not after the 12 months from first issue/stamp.

But my Dyslexic is stopping me from explaining it ,

I have been on this forum since its conception giving advice and help to numurios people ,good deals in yards,where to find decent workmen , I have 5 moorings available to help in emergency's .
And I've got an attitude problem.
All because a French boat and crew came into a yard that I have an interest in,Then when I am told by them in French which I don't under stand he had been fined 5000euro ,someone up in Ionian who knows a friend of a friend that knows better and I am effectively misleading the forum.
By the way I have a watch ,but not an ICC.

It not a friend of a friend , but his friend who known him for a lot more his then the five mins you known him .
You report he has no insurance (? Make or not ),
so unless you know the full fact before reporting stuff here and getting people up in arms .
this isn't the first time you report stuff here without getting the full facts .
Has for you're problem .
If as you say you have commercial ticket by the MCA you shouldn't have any problem using that to get you DEKPA .
maybe if you wasn't so rude the PP would be more help full .
There is a way of getting an DEKPA without a ICC which is legal , but as you seen to know so much I let you find out .
As for your mooring we won't go there .
I also been here for a lot of years and also helped a lot of people not only with info ,
but my help is normally free .
Have a good day Bob .

Greece accepts national qualifications and the ICC. However, Greek PP staff don't have lists of the relevant leisure qualifications and the types of leisure boat they apply to. They rely on interpretation . . .
If you're going to produce non-European qualifications, it'll save hassle and delay if you carry an interpretion into Greek of the important phrases.

Boat and other paperwork is covered on the same page.

The couple ahead of us in the queue in Preveza said they'd been sailing for 50 years, knew what they were doing, and had never bothered to get any qualifications. The charming lady PP shrugged with a smile and gave them their new DEPKA.

Went into the PP yesterday at Skopolos to get my new DEKPA. They stamped my old one and said that's Ok for another year. I asked if I could buy a new one and they said, no, no need, get one next year.

I'm afraid they are wrong and if you haven't got a new one by September this year you run the very real risk of being fined. I would try again somewhere else.

We've just met a couple who checked into Chios from Turkey. Their boat is less than 9m and we're told by the PP they don't need a DEPKA.

Same answer....

...but both answers have been correct this millennium, which is actually pretty good going for the PP.
How long before we start taping conversations with the PP?
