As the umbrella organisation for motorised water sports, the DMYV pays the passage fees for members of the SBV and DMYV member clubs. This requires the display of a special flag when travelling through the canals. These flags are valid for two years and authorise free passage through all three canals.
SBC members can order the flag directly by e-mail, stating their membership number, at info@sbv.de or by post to the Sportbootvereinigung im DMYV e.V., Vinckeufer 12-14, 47119 Duisburg. For members of DMYV clubs, the flag can only be ordered collectively via their executive boards using a contact form at www.dmyv.de/kontakt/vignette be ordered. A list with the names of the club members who are to be provided with a flag must be submitted. Only a processing fee of three euros is charged for each flag ordered.
The vignette for all skippers without a DMYV licence
All skippers without a connection to the SBV or a DMYV association can purchase the vignette for the Elbe-Weser shipping route for 20 euros and the vignette for the Ems-Jade Canal for 40 euros. The vignette is valid for one year and only authorises passage through the respective canals. Alternatively, membership of the SBV, for example, can be purchased at www.sbv.de can be taken out online. Individual membership currently costs 60 euros per year and, in addition to free passage through all three canals, offers numerous other benefits and the advantages of being part of a strong community of around 5,000 boating enthusiasts.
