Long Beach Marine Department has halted permits on about 180 marina slips after complaints about subletting for profit. Sublease rules require ownership or proximity of the owner’s boat, six months’ use, and notarized proof of at least half-ownership. The department matches heat registration with slip records to curb permanent subletting and ensure legitimate use.

Long Beach bought the Queen Mary in 1967 for 3.45 million and planned a maritime museum in the ship’s decks at an initial cost of 8.75 million.

A legal dispute ensued as DQM Corp seeks 139 million in damages for breach of contract, while the city claims 78.3 million for lost profits and added costs.
