sjørettserklæring

The sjørettserklæring, also known as the "maritime declaration of ownership," is a document used in Norway to declare the ownership of a vessel. It is typically submitted to the Norwegian Maritime Authority and is required for various maritime activities, including the registration of vessels.

The purpose of the sjørettserklæring is to provide a clear and official declaration of a vessel's ownership, which is essential for various maritime activities such as registration, taxation, and insurance. The document must include the name of the vessel, its official number, the names and addresses of the owners, and a detailed description of the vessel.

To obtain a sjørettserklæring, the owner or a representative must submit an application to the Norwegian Maritime Authority, accompanied by the necessary documentation, including the vessel's registration certificate and proof of ownership. The Norwegian Maritime Authority will then review the application and issue the sjørettserklæring if the requirements are met.

The sjørettserklæring is a mandatory document for vessel owners in Norway and must be kept on board the vessel at all times. It serves as proof of ownership and is used by various authorities, including customs and port authorities.

The Norwegian Maritime Authority is responsible for maintaining a list of registered vessels and their owners. This list is publicly available and provides valuable information on vessel ownership and registration. The sjørettserklæring plays a crucial role in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of this list.
