⚠️ Harbor Safety Reminder – Derelict Docks
The Harbormaster’s Office recently located a derelict floating dock adrift in the harbor. Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon occurrence and serves as an important reminder for all waterfront property owners.
Docks require regular maintenance and are required to be kept in safe condition as part of their permitting requirements. When docks fall into disrepair and break free, they can become serious navigation hazards.
We ask all dock owners to inspect their structures regularly and address any maintenance concerns before they become a safety issue.
If you observe a derelict dock or floating debris that may pose a hazard, please contact the Beverly Harbormaster’s Office so we can investigate and work to identify the responsible owner.
Thank you for helping us keep Beverly Harbor safe. ⚓
