This information is very helpful for billing purposes and also when Small Craft Harbours submits projects for approval and funding. If your Harbour Authority decides to use this form could you please forward me a copy when completed) Excel Version & PDF Version.

Operational Licenses (Operational licenses should be issued and signed by the Harbour Authority and the Licensee prior to any operational activity taking place on Harbour Authority Property (ie: fuel truck delivery; fish buying stations; tour boat operations; commercial diving; gear sheds, etc.). If the Harbour Authority is allowing operational activity to take place prior to having the license document signed and issued, the Harbour Authority is subjecting itself to possible liability situations if an accident were to occur on site.
