| USAGE EXAMPLE | An official number, the registered tonnage, the name of the ship, and the port of registry must be marked on the vessel. | ||||||||
| NOTES | In some countries (e.g. The United States) you can register a ship to landlocked towns while other countries specify the city you must register the vessel in. The port of registry determines the rules that vessel must abide by, beyond international agreements. Most of all, it determines the amount of taxation applied to the vessel, owner, and operator for numerous items. | ||||||||
