Changes of vessel's name: ^ If another vessel has already been registered under the name of your first choice, your application will be returned unless you have given other choices and one of those names is available.

Notice given on behalf of a corporation should be executed by a company resolution. The Certificate of Registry must also be delivered to the registrar. Ship no longer in use ^ If you own a vessel which is no longer in use, has sunk, has been wrecked, has burned, or has been sold to a foreign owner, then you are required by law to notify the Port of Registry and to deliver the vessel's Certificate of Registry.
