It will soon be compulsory for boats and ships in Fiji to have life jackets every time.
This is after the implementation of the new Maritime Transport and the Ship Registration Decree which will come into effect next year.
Maritime Safety Authority of Fiji CEO Neil Slack said with a 32% reduction in the import duty of a foam that is used to manufacture life jackets, boat owners will be paying around $20 a life jacket which would cost around $60 previously.
Slack said they do not believe in policing this area as this has been requested by people during the consultations.
The new decrees will be enforced on March 5th 2014.
