Your vessel is an expensive investment. For that reason, it is vital that you protect it against theft and other external factors. Because your boat can be easily stolen, it is a good idea to apply for vessel registration in Canada. Having your boat registered will help government agencies to identify your boat in case of an emergency. They can quickly assist you in search and rescue efforts.
Here are some benefits of having a registered vessel:
Flag of Canada. The registration is an indication that it is a Canadian boat and it is recognized internationally. It can also assist you to enter a foreign port.
Protection. Your registered vessel is provided greater protection under the federal laws. It is beneficial if it is in distress in international waters.
Unique ID. All registered vessels will have an official number that is unique. In the case of danger or if it is stolen, the unique identifier is used to track it.
Registration for borrowing. Marine lenders may require borrowers to submit a certificate of registration before they could extend a loan. Certificate of Registration is considered as the highest form of obtaining lender’s security interest.
