With this form, you can apply to remove a British vessel from the UK Registry.
In addition to completing this form, you will have to send along the original certificate of registration to the RSS (Registry of Shipping and Seamen).
When completing the form, keep in mind that Section 1 and 4 have to be completed by the registered owner or, alternatively, the beneficial owner with a supporting bill of sale from the registered owner. You can find the form for a bill of sale here as well.
To expedite completing the form, we’ve marked the sections that have to be completed. You will have to list the reason that you wish for the vessel to be removed from the register. Most often, it’s due to the vessel being sold, destroyed, or registered elsewhere. If possible, list how the vessel was destroyed or why it was registered elsewhere. There is also an “Other” section for those who have different reasons. Complete if necessary.
This form and all of the others at our site have been optimized for mobile devices. That means that these can be completed from anywhere and on any device. This makes the process much faster and more convenient. Many complete these forms on their schedule and at a time of their choosing, often on the vessel itself.
With many of our forms, users can opt for “rush processing/priority request” service. This, for a fee, puts the form at the top of our queue so that they can receive documentation that much more quickly. Safe travels wherever your journey takes you.
