<strong>Harbour</strong> Patrols<br />
<strong>Poole</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> Commissioners operate a number of<br />
patrol vessels in the harbour, especially at peak times<br />
when activity on the water is increased. <strong>The</strong> patrol<br />
vessels also work closely with other organisations<br />
including Dorset Police, Dorset Fire and Rescue Service,<br />
RNLI and the Southern Inshore Fisheries Conservation<br />
Authority. Because of this patrols are extended into late<br />
evenings to assist in the battle against crime in <strong>Poole</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>. <strong>The</strong>se vessels are on constant alert to respond<br />
to incidents and to watch out for misdemeanors and<br />
problems and may ask you to stop to communicate and<br />
obtain information. Be prepared to stop if asked to do so.<br />
Use of VHF Radio<br />
If you have a marine radio on your boat, maintain a<br />
listening watch on Channel 16 outside the <strong>Harbour</strong> area<br />
but remember this is a calling and distress frequency. It is<br />
not a conversational channel and except in an<br />
emergency, you must switch to another channel when<br />
contact has been made.<br />
In the Swash Channel and inside the <strong>Harbour</strong> it is<br />
advisable to maintain a listening watch on Channel 14<br />
which is the <strong>Harbour</strong> operations channel. You should<br />
not communicate on this channel unless it is necessary<br />
for safety reasons, but you will be able to follow and<br />
anticipate the movements of other shipping.<br />
All harbour patrol launches, <strong>Harbour</strong> Control,<br />
Sandbanks Chain Ferry and the Dorset Marine Police<br />
keep watch on Channel 14.<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> Patrols<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> Master will prosecute offenders on<br />
occasions of dangerous or irresponsible behavior. <strong>The</strong><br />
maximum fine is currently £1,000 plus costs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> vessels are not there just for enforcement purposes,<br />
they are also there to provide a valuable source of<br />
information and to educate where necessary. Ultimately<br />
they are there for your safety.<br />
