MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 20

20.(1) Whenever a change occurs in the registered ownership of a ship, the
change of ownership shall be endorsed on her certificate of registry either by
the registrar of the ship's port of registry, or by the registrar of any port
at which the ship arrives who has been advised of the change by the registrar
of the ship's port of registry.

(2) The master shall, for the purpose of such endorsement by the registrar of
the ship's port of registry, deliver the certificate of registry to the
registrar, forthwith after the change if the change occurs when the ship is at
her port of registry, and if it occurs during her absence from that port and
the endorsement under this section is not made before her return then upon her
first return to that port.

(3) The registrar of any port, not being the ship's port of registry, who is
required to make an endorsement under this section may for that purpose
require the master of the ship to deliver to him the ship's certificate of
registry, so that the ship be not thereby detained, and the master shall
deliver the same accordingly.

(4) If the master fails to deliver to the registrar the certificate of
registry as required by this section he shall, for each offence, be liable to
a fine not exceeding [#200].
