COME on, CaRT can't do right for doing wrong according to some of your contributors, in this case the lightship in Liverpool, writes Paul Holden.
Let's face facts here, if this vessel hasn't paid for moorings amounting to over £10k then it is overstaying on a valuable mooring and as such is also in breach of its licence if it has one.
Public liability
It also will not have any public liability insurance as this will be made void by not having a trading licence or simply by not paying mooring fees and the insurance company would deny any liability should a member of the public be injured.
Your contributors seem only happy when they think they have something to gripe about, if CaRT don't take action they're criticised and if they do, they're accused of being overly zealous.
I sometimes agree that CaRT don't do themselves any favours when seemingly not taking action when boaters (customers) report issues, but come on, if you can't support them when they apply rules, when will you support them?
