Historical Research (ODATA or GraphQL feed?)

Historical Research of a vessel provides information from the Ship Registration Computer System Database from 1984 to present, or from microfilm if the vessel was registered prior to 1984. NOTE: In order to search information on a registered or closed vessel, we require the Official Number and/or the Vessel Name. It is impossible to do a search without this information. Please be advised this is for registered vessels only, NOT vessels licensed under the Pleasure Craft Licensing system.


Bare Boat Charter

“Bare-boat Charter" means a vessel charter agreement under which the charterer has complete possession and control of the vessel, including the right to appoint its master and crew. This application must be completed and signed by the Bare-Boat Charterer who is also known as the Authorized Representative and must be qualified to bare-boat charter a vessel registered in Canada. Qualifications to own a vessel registered in Canada are set out in Section 2 of the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 under "Qualified person". The process for bare-boat charter registration must be similar in both countries – conditional/provisional registration is not permitted.
