The Department of Transport has amended Marine Notice No 32 of 2019, which highlights the requirements for the carriage, certification, selection and wearing of personal flotation devices (PFDs) — including lifejackets and buoyancy aids — for pleasure craft and personal watercraft.
The document explains PFDs, the relevant regulations and legal requirements, and instructions for their safe use on the water. Full details can be found in Marine Notice No 32 of 2019 Amended, attached below.
