Marine (Scotland) Act 2010

The Act

Part 7 – Common Enforcement Powers Etc.: Licensing and Marine Protection Etc.

Common enforcement powers of entry, search and seizure

Section 140 - Powers of seizure, etc.

201.Section 140 sets out powers of seizure that can be exercised by marine enforcement officers. Where an officer suspects that an offence may have been committed, the officer may seize and remove (and detain) anything found on the premises. The officer can also take copies of or extracts from any document/material or record found on the relevant premises. Subsection (5) limits the power so that it does not allow an officer to remove any document/material that is required by law to be kept on the premises, such as vessel registration papers. However, subsection (6) allows such items to be seized when a vessel is in port. Subsection (7) prevents an officer seizing an item which is subject to legal privilege.
