Were the legislation in place right now, we would be able to notify the owner that they need to do something, tell them what they need to do, and give them a timeline for that. Then if they didn't do that within that timeline, we would have the capacity to move to administrative penalties or other measures to address the violation. We would then also have the ability to act to address the problem vessel by ourselves.
The act is structured precisely to not allow owners to choose to be irresponsible.
