Registration Procedure (RP16): Documentation to be submitted for a Dispensation for a vessel to be Bareboat Chartered In to SKN Flag (Provisional Registration) This checklist is used as an indication to allow an Owner/MR to check the documents required for registration.

Please complete the relevant sections of the checklist and submit with application form and supporting documents.

All documents are to be submitted in the English Language.

Failure to do so may lead to the Dispensation being withdrawn and the Flag State to which the vessel is Bareboat Chartered being informed of the withdrawal of the Dispensation.
