What are regulations on naming of Vietnamese ship?
Hello Lawnet. I'm a fisherman living in Quang Ngai. I have a question about regulations on naming of Vietnamese ship. Thank you!
Watercraft refers to means operating above or under water surface, including ships, vessels and boats, and others with or without any engine.
Pursuant to Article 21 of the Vietnam Maritime Code in 2015 stipulating as follows:
Vietnamese ship must be named and this naming process must adhere to the following rules:
1. Name of a ship must be given by its owner and is not allowed to be the same as other vessels' names which appear in the national register of ships of Vietnam;
2. Do not use name of the state agency, armed force unit, political organization or socio-political organization to create the whole or partial name of ship, unless approved by this agency, unit or organization;
3. Do not use words or signs in breach of historical, cultural, moral and traditional values.
Above are regulations on naming of Vietnamese ship.
Best regards!
