For example: 14K12345. Float Planning Lights and their Characteristics Nautical Flags and their meanings Port vs Starboard...which is which? Running lights at night Can I give my vessel a name if it has a K Number? Yes. A licensed vessel may be given any name at the preference of the owner. However, the vessel is officially know by its K Number. What are the benefits of registration and licensing? In addition to the obvious title advantages of registration, a Certificate of Canadian or British Registry is the most respected identification in the world for a vessel if you plan to sail abroad. Additionally, it is easier to sell a registered vessel since title and legal encumbrances may be determined from the Ship's Registry alone and one need not look further. A registered vessel is considered better collateral than a licenced vessel, since title has been established and legal encumbrances must be registered on the Ship's Register.
