Ann, Thats how it does catch them, the system is "intelligent" to work out how none movers can be on certain moorings. like the congestion charge works, you pay one day going in but it knows you are there the next day.As for unlicensed craft either no barcode or passing with a fake or outdated obe would alert staff to the presence of that craft within a defined section.
