RESERVATION AND APPROVAL OF SHIP NAMES

The Application for Registration allows an owner to specify a preferred name for a ship and any
alternatives, should the preferred name be unavailable. It is also possible to check on name
availability before submitting the application and to reserve preferred names. This can be done
by visiting the Nigerian Ship Registration Office.
A proposed name may be refused for any of the following reasons:
 It is already the name of a Nigerian registered ship
 It is a name so similar to an existing name that it could pass off as belonging to the same
owner.
 It is likely to cause offence or embarrassment to the flag.
 It is calculated to deceive or offend the public interest.
Reservation of name is for a 60 days period after which the name shall lapse.
