Wrecks in the Bay of Pollenca: Municipality pays – but who bears responsibility?

Answer

Is there a public boat register in Mallorca for checking ownership?

A clear, publicly accessible register is often suggested as part of the solution, because it would make it easier to identify owners quickly. Without that kind of system, abandoned boats can be difficult to trace and responsibility becomes blurred. A better register would also help authorities act faster when a vessel is damaged or left unattended.
