Change Vessel Name and/or Port

Change Fishing Vessel Name UK – Fishing Vessel Registry UK

Changing the name or ship’s berth of a fishing vessel operating under UK Ship Register Part 2 is a straightforward procedure but must be done via the Marine and Coastguard Agency (MCA) officially.

Whether you are changing your vessel’s name, getting a new look with a rebranding, or your vessel is going to a different home port, Vessel Registrar will make sure that your changes are processed smoothly and efficiently.

Reasons to Change a Fishing Vessel Name or Port

Fishing vessel owners request changes for several valid reasons, including:

  • New ownership or company rebranding
  • Change of registration port due to relocation
  • Correcting errors on current documentation
  • Aligning multiple vessels under a shared naming format
  • Transition from personal to commercial use under a new name

Regardless of the reason, it’s essential that all changes are approved and recorded by the registry.
