Commercial Vessels Registration

For the purpose of promoting or securing conditions conducive to the ease, convenience or safety of navigation and the safety of persons and property in the harbour, Littlehampton Harbour Board seek to ensure that all commercial craft operating within Littlehampton Harbour are properly maintained, equipped and manned and used only for purposes for which they are capable.

All operators of commercial vessels working in Littlehampton Harbour are required to register their craft with Littlehampton Harbour Board by completing the relevant registration form. Registration must then be renewed on an annual basis.

The full Small Commercial Vessels Management Policy can be viewed here.

Register your commercial vessel for the first time here. You will then be contacted for updates each April.
