Pembrokeshire Jet Ski Prosecution Prompts Water Safety Warning

The Milford Haven port wants everyone to be safe on the water. They recently prosecuted someone for using a jet ski dangerously, so they’re reminding everyone to be careful.

The waterway is busy with work boats and fun boats. The port manages safety, but everyone must follow the rules. Understand the rules before you head out.

The jet ski user broke three port rules, one of which was aquaplaning in a no-wake zone. They had to pay about £2,840. The person’s actions were very unsafe. They put many people at risk, including those in small boats, a passenger ship, and themselves.

The port provides safety information online, in tide tables, and in a user guide. The harbor patrol helps too, offering advice and pointing out unsafe actions. The harbor patrol can stop dangerous activity and can also start legal cases if needed.

Brian MacFarlane, a harbor patrol officer, suggests rereading the rules, which you can find online or in tide tables. Knowing the rules helps keep people safe. Brian said everyone should act safely. It’s vital for both themselves and others. Read the rules again before going on the water. This helps save lives and keeps the waterway enjoyable.
