A city survey found about 350 such boats at six ports, including Hakata, despite mooring only being permitted at one port. The local fisheries cooperative admitted to collecting \u201ccooperation fees\u201d from boat owners and leasing berths without city approval, citing past ambiguities in regulations. The city says it has long been aware of the issue but failed to act, and now seeks to review management practices. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20250827\/5010029655.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-172888\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_boat-mooring_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C806&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_boat-mooring_2025_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_boat-mooring_2025_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C173&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_boat-mooring_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C590&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_boat-mooring_2025_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C442&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
