Chapters 2, 3 and 22 on vessel registry

The translated text appears on the Institute’s home page www.juridicum.su.se/transport. Ship, boat and shipbuilding registers are merged into one Vessel Register with a ship, boat and shipbuilding part, all transferred from Stockholm DC to the National Maritime Administration. The register is adjusted to EC Data Directive 95/46/EC and Swedish Personal Data Act (1998:204) on personal integrity and rectification of entries etc. Though not a court, the Authority is empowered to enforce certain duties by fines. Appeal lies to the Stockholm DC as a Maritime Court.
