Special Registration
IMMARBE accepts vessels to be registered for a short period under special circumstances such as one delivery voyage for scrap or a one-time delivery voyage under tow or in ballast conditions. Procedures for special registration allow for documents to be issued with a validity of three months and automatic expiration when this period elapses or upon completion of the voyage whichever occurs first. The navigation patents issued are conditioned according to the voyage being undertaken and expire upon completion of the voyage. Owners through their respective Designated offices are encouraged to notify IMMARBE Head office immediately when the vessel arrives at its destination.
