Power to refuse registry under particular name.
|
68.—(1) The Minister, after consultation with the Revenue Commissioners, may make regulations enabling the Minister to refuse the registry of any ship by the name by which it is proposed to register that ship if it is already the name of a registered ship or of a ship registered in a reciprocating state or a name so similar as to be calculated to deceive, and may require notice to be given in such manner as may be directed by the regulations before the name of the ship is marked on the ship, or before the name of the ship is entered on the register.
|

(2) If the registry of a ship by the name by which it is proposed to register that ship is refused by the Minister, or if any requirements of the regulations are not complied with in the case of any ship which it is proposed to register, that ship shall not be registered under the name proposed or until the regulations are complied with as the case may be.
