Provisional certificate for ships becoming British owned abroad.

22.(1) If at a port not within Her Majesty's dominions and not being a port of
registry established by Order in Council under this Act, a ship becomes the
property of persons qualified to own a British ship, the British consular
officer there may grant to her master, on his application, a provisional
certificate, stating

(a)the name of the ship;

(b)the time and place of her purchase, and the names of her purchasers;

(c)the name of her master; and

(d)the best particulars respecting her tonnage, build, and description which
he is able to obtain;

(2) Such a provisional certificate shall have the effect of a certificate of
registry until the expiration of six months from its date, or until the ship's
arrival at a port where there is a registrar (whichever first happens), and on
either of those events happening shall cease to have effect.
