What
is a "K number"?
"K Number" is another name for vessel licence in
the Pacific Region. A licenced vessel is identified by a number consisting
of between five and eight digits and, on the West coast, the letter "K."
For example: 14K12345.
Can I give my vessel a name if it has a K Number?
Yes. A licensed vessel may be given any name at the preference
of the owner. However, the vessel is officially know by its K Number.
What
are the benefits of registration and licensing?
In addition to the obvious title advantages of registration,
a Certificate of Canadian or British Registry is the most respected identification
in the world for a vessel if you plan to sail abroad. Additionally, it
is easier to sell a registered vessel since title and legal encumbrances
may be determined from the Ship's Registry alone and one need not look
further. A registered vessel is considered better collateral than a licenced
vessel, since title has been established and legal encumbrances must be
registered on the Ship's Register.
