REMINDER: the above legislation and associated regulations came into effect on 01 January 2025. 

"A BILL to provide for restrictions in connection with operating vessels, and performing certain duties on board vessels, in the waters of Hong Kong after consumption or use of alcohol or drugs; to provide for procedures to obtain specimens of breath, blood and urine, and to test for the presence of alcohol and drugs in the specimens and for impairment by drugs; to provide for disqualification from operating vessels and performing certain duties on board vessels on conviction of certain offences; to provide for enforcement powers; and to provide for related matters."

Any questions? Actually, yes, there are a few questions, mostly concerning the definition of "person in charge", but all active boaters need to read this and be familiar with it anyway. 

It's 86 pages long...
