Change Your Vessel’s Name or Hailing Port with Ease

Sometimes your vessel’s identity changes—maybe you’re rebranding, relocating its home port, or simplifying its documentation. Whatever the reason, updating the vessel name or hailing port in your documentation ensures your record stays accurate and compliant. We guide you through the process cleanly and efficiently.

Having a mismatch between your vessel’s name, port, or documentation can cause delays in docking, inspections, or transfers.

When Should You Request a Change?

You’ll want to request a name or port change if:

You’ve decided on a new vessel name or owner wants rebranding
You’ve moved operations to a different home base or registration port
Local jurisdictional rules require your hailing port to match operational location
You’re preparing for sale or transfer and want records to reflect current status
You want to align your documentation with insurance or registration requirements

Updated information keeps your vessel clear in the eyes of authorities and partners.
