MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 53

Transfer of registry.

53.(1) The registry of any ship may be transferred from one port to another on
the application to the registrar of the existing port of registry of the ship
made by declaration in writing of all persons appearing on the register to be
interested therein as owners or mortgagees, but that transfer shall not in any
way affect the rights of those persons or any of them, and those rights shall
in all respects continue in the same manner as if no such transfer had been
effected.

(2) On any such application the registrar shall transmit notice thereof to the
registrar of the intended port of registry with a copy of all particulars
relating to the ship, and the names of all persons appearing on the register
to be interested therein as owners or mortgagees.

(3) The ship's certificate of registry shall be delivered up to the registrar
either of the existing or intended port of registry, and, if delivered up to
the former, shall be transmitted to the registrar of the intended port of
registry.

(4) On the receipt of the above documents the registrar of the intended port
of registry shall enter in his register book all the particulars and names so
transmitted as aforesaid, and grant a fresh certificate of registry, and
thenceforth such ship shall be considered as registered at the new port of
registry, and the name of the ship's new port of registry shall be substituted
for the name of her former port of registry on the ship's stern.
